CHAPLE stands for "CD55 deficiency with hyper-activation of complement, angiopathic thrombosis, and severe protein-losing enteropathy (PLE)." The disorder usually manifests in childhood and can be life-threatening.
CHAPLE is characterized by severe protein-losing enteropathy leading to hypoproteinemia. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and edema. People also have chronic malabsorption, which causes deficiencies in iron, ferritin, calcium, magnesium, folate, vitamin D and vitamin B12. Some patients may have recurrent respiratory infections associated with hypogammaglobulinemia. Severe thrombotic vascular occlusions may also be found among these patients.
CHAPLE syndrome patients are generally diagnosed through a combination of clinical presentation, histology, and genetic testing. Although symptom presentation may vary, patients generally present with early-onset gastrointestinal symptoms, edema, malnutrition, hypoalbuminemia, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Histopathological assessment of intestinal biopsy samples or resections revealed extensive lymphangiectasia, and suggest a diagnosis of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia. Patients are also susceptible to large-vein thrombosis.
