Polyglucosan body myopathy (PGBM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by chronic autoinflammation, invasive bacterial infections, and muscular amylopectinosis. Patients carried biallelic loss-of-expression and loss-of-function mutations in HOIL1 (RBCK1) gene coding for a component of the linear ubiquitination chain assembly complex (LUBAC). The patients developed recurrent episodes of fever and systemic inflammation with higher concentrations of acute-phase markers, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy very early in life. These features are commonly seen in the primary autoinflammatory diseases, although these HOIL-1-deficient patients failed to develop other cardinal features of the primary autoinflammatory diseases, such as pleuritis, pericarditis, peritonitis, or neutrophilic dermatoses.
