Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have potent immune functions in experimental conditions in mice, but their contribution to immunity in natural conditions in humans remains unclear. We investigated the presence of ILCs in a cohort of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). All ILC subsets were absent in SCID patients carrying mutations of IL2RG or JAK3. T cell reconstitution was observed in SCID patients upon hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but the patients still exhibited drastic reduction of ILCs in the absence of myeloablation, at the exception of rare cases of ILC1 reconstitution. Remarkably, the observed ILC deficiencies were not associated with any particular susceptibility to disease, with a follow-up extending from 7 to 39 years after HSCT. We thus report here the first cases of selective ILC deficiency in humans, and show that ILCs may be dispensable in natural conditions, if T cells are present and B cell function is preserved.
