Thirty-nine children were diagnosed with MIS-C, and 25.4% of the 39 MIS-C patients harbored rare heterozygous missense mutations either in primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH) genes (LYST, STXBP2, PRF1, UNC13D, AP3B1) or the HLH-associated gene DOCK8 (four variants). This evidence concerns the gene STXBP2 and COVID-19–associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
