Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b , Defective B cell maturation in the BM of individuals with CBL -LOH. Flow cytometry staining of cryopreserved BM mononuclear cells of HDs and participants P1, P2 and P3 with CBL -LOH. a , Representative flow staining of CD20 versus CD10 expression levels on CD34 − CD19 + cells in BM samples. b , Quantification of these subsets for HDs ( n = 8), individuals with CBL -LOH ( n = 3) and individuals with PIK3CD GOF ( n = 3). The line shows the mean of the data points. Statistical significance was assessed using multiple two-sided Mann–Whitney tests corrected for multiple testing; * P < 0.05. c , d , In vitro differentiation of control AAVS1 -edited and CBL -edited CD34 + HSPCs toward B cell identity. c , Flow cytometry staining for CD10 and CD20 among CD19 + cells in differentiation cultures after 3 weeks of coculture. d , Quantification of B cell ‘subsets’ based on flow cytometry marker expression (pre-BI, CD10 + CD20 − ; pre-BII, CD10 + CD20 + ; immature B, CD10 + CD20 ++ ; mature B, CD10 − CD20 ++ ) in this culture in control and two CBL -edited reactions. The lines show the means of three biological replicates, except for AAVS1 single guide RNA (sgRNA) 1, where two replicates are shown. Statistical significance was assessed using multiple two-sided Mann–Whitney tests corrected for multiple testing; ** P < 0.005. e , Transcriptional overlap between CBL -edited and PI3K GOF HSPC-derived B cell progenitors. Gene set enrichment analysis for PI3K GOF gene signatures in CBL Ub LOF samples is shown; NES, normalized enrichment score. No correction for multiple testing was performed for the two binomial tests. f , Quantitative genotyping by amplicon sequencing of B cell subsets and monocytes in individuals with CBL -LOH and HDs, as well as parents of P1–P3; HDs ( n = 3), individuals with CBL -LOH ( n = 5). Data are shown as mean ± s.d. g , CD38 staining intensity of primary B cell subsets of pediatric individuals with CBL -LOH compared with age-matched HDs; HDs ( n = 9), individuals with CBL -LOH ( n = 5). Data are shown as mean ± s.d. The statistical significance of differences was assessed by multiple two-sided Mann–Whitney tests, with correction for multiple testing; * P < 0.05. h , Rate of apoptosis following stimulation with daratumumab of CD19 + cells from in vitro differentiation cultures of control and CBL -edited HSPCs. Data show the mean of three technical replicates. The experiment is representative of three biological replicates. i , Rate of apoptosis following stimulation with daratumumab of control and CBL Y371C KI REH cells. Each dot represents one biological replicate; n = 7. The statistical significance of differences was assessed using multiple paired, two-sided t- tests, with correction for multiple testing. j , Western blot of control and CBL Y371C KI REH cells following stimulation with monoclonal anti-CD38 (daratumumab) for the indicated times (min).
