Studies of monogenic gastrointestinal diseases have revealed molecular pathways critical to gut homeostasis and enabled the development of targeted therapies. We studied 11 patients with abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by early-onset protein-losing enteropathy with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia, edema due to hypoproteinemia, malabsorption, and, less frequently, bowel inflammation, recurrent infections and angiopathic thromboembolic disease following an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify gene variants. We evaluated the function of CD55 in patient cells, which we confirmed through exogenously-induced expression of CD55. We identified homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding CD55/Decay accelerating factor, leading to loss of protein expression. Patients’ T lymphocytes displayed increased complement activation causing complement surface deposition and the generation of soluble C5a. Co-stimulatory function and cytokine modulation by CD55 were defective. Genetic reconstitution of CD55 or treatment with a complement-inhibitory therapeutic antibody reversed abnormal complement activation. CD55 deficiency with hyperactivation of complement, angiopathic thrombosis, and protein-losing enteropathy (CHAPLE) disease is caused by abnormal complement activation due to biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CD55.
