Diagnosis of DOCK8 deficiency using Flow cytometry Biomarkers: an Egyptian Center experience

Profound defects in Th17 cells and Tregs were observed in all patients with impaired STAT3 phosphorylation, indicating that DOCK8 plays a pivotal role in the STAT3 signaling pathway. These findings together with decrease in memory B cells and defective DOCK8 expression by flow cytometry can confirm the diagnosis.
