Resum

Autosomal inborn errors of type I IFN immunity and autoantibodies against these cytokines underlie at least 10% of critical COVID-19 pneumonia cases. We report very rare, biochemically deleterious X-linked TLR7 variants in 16 unrelated male individuals aged 7 to 71 years (mean: 36.7 years) from a cohort of 1,202 male patients aged 0.5 to 99 years (mean: 52.9 years) with unexplained critical COVID-19 pneumonia. None of the 331 asymptomatically or mildly infected male individuals aged 1.3 to 102 years (mean: 38.7 years) tested carry such TLR7 variants (p = 3.5 × 10-5). The phenotypes of five hemizygous relatives of index cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 include asymptomatic or mild infection (n=2, 5 and 38 years), or moderate (n=1, 5 years), severe (n=1, 27 years), or critical (n=1, 29 years) pneumonia. Two boys (aged 7 and 12 years) from a cohort of 262 male patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia (mean: 51.0 years) are hemizygous for a deleterious TLR7 variant. The cumulative allele frequency for deleterious TLR7 variants in the male general population is < 6.5x10-4 We also show that blood B cell lines and myeloid cell subsets from the patients do not respond to TLR7 stimulation, a phenotype rescued by wild-type TLR7 The patients' blood plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce low levels of type I IFNs in response to SARS-CoV-2. Overall, X-linked recessive TLR7 deficiency is a highly penetrant genetic etiology of critical COVID-19 pneumonia, in about 1.8% of male patients below the age of 60 years. Human TLR7 and pDCs are essential for protective type I IFN immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in the respiratory tract.Copyright © 2021, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Indicis de qualitat

Impacte bibliomètric. Anàlisi de la contribució i canal de difusió

El treball ha estat publicat a la revista Science Immunology a causa de la seva progressió i el bon impacte que ha aconseguit en els últims anys, segons l'agència WoS (JCR), s'ha convertit en una referència en el seu camp. A l'any de publicació del treball, 2021, es trobava a la posició 5/162, aconseguint així situar-se com a revista Q1 (Primer Cuartil), en la categoria Immunology. Destacable, igualment, el fet que la revista està posicionada per sobre del Percentil 90.

Aquesta publicació ha estat distingida com a “Highly Cited Paper” segons les agències WoS (ESI, Clarivate) i ESI (Clarivate), el que significa que se situa dins del 1% superior dels articles més citats en el seu camp temàtic durant l'any de la seva publicació. En termes de l'impacte observat de l'aportació, aquest treball és considerat com un dels més influents a nivell mundial, en ser considerat com a altament citat. (font consultada: ESI 14 Nov 2024)

I així ho demostren els altíssims impactes normalitzats a través d'alguns dels principals indicadors d'aquest tipus, i que encara que dinàmics en el temps i dependents del conjunt de citacions mitjanes mundials en el moment del seu càlcul, ja apunten a estar molt per sobre de la mitjana en diferents agències:

  • Normalització de cites relatives a la taxa de citació esperada (ESI) de l'agència Clarivate: 13.88 (font consultada: ESI 14 Nov 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) de la font Dimensions: 132.87 (font consultada: Dimensions Jul 2025)

Concretament, i atenent a les diferents agències d'indexació, aquest treball ha acumulat, fins a la data 2025-07-21, el següent nombre de cites:

  • WoS: 272
  • Europe PMC: 207

Impacte i visibilitat social

Des de la dimensió d'influència o adopció social, i prenent com a base les mètriques associades a les mencions i interaccions proporcionades per agències especialitzades en el càlcul de les denominades "Mètriques Alternatives o Socials", podem destacar a data 2025-07-21:

  • L'ús, des de l'àmbit acadèmic evidenciat per l'indicador de l'agència Altmetric referit com a agregacions realitzades pel gestor bibliogràfic personal Mendeley, ens dona un total de: 301.
  • L'ús d'aquesta aportació en marcadors, bifurcacions de codi, afegits a llistes de favorits per a una lectura recurrent, així com visualitzacions generals, indica que algú està fent servir la publicació com a base del seu treball actual. Això pot ser un indicador destacat de futures cites més formals i acadèmiques. Aquesta afirmació està avalada pel resultat de l'indicador "Capture", que aporta un total de: 322 (PlumX).

Amb una intenció més de divulgació i orientada a audiències més generals, podem observar altres puntuacions més globals com:

  • El Puntuació total de Altmetric: 889.65.
  • El nombre de mencions a la xarxa social Facebook: 1 (Altmetric).
  • El nombre de mencions a la xarxa social X (abans Twitter): 682 (Altmetric).
  • El nombre de mencions a mitjans de comunicació: 58 (Altmetric).
