Abstract

Biallelic mutations in the ITK gene cause a T-cell primary immunodeficiency with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-lymphoproliferative disorders. We describe a novel association of a homozygous ITK mutation with β-human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Thus, loss of function in ITK can result in broad dysregulation of T-cell responses to oncogenic viruses, including β-HPV and EBV.
