This study presents PrimDx, a diagnostic test that applies machine learning (ML) to whole blood transcriptomic data to improve early detection and diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency (PID). Delays in PID diagnosis are ...

BackgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) management relies on mucociliary clearance to prevent bronchiectasis. While humoral immunodeficiencies have been reported in PCD, their clinical significance remains under-defin...

RationaleGenetic testing can reveal a molecular diagnosis in 20–40% of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) such as predominantly antibody deficiencies (PAD), though this varies by IEI type and other factors. ...

BackgroundPyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare ulcerative neutrophilic dermatosis that can be associated with primary immunodeficiencies. Its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, but it has been increasingly reported ...

Introduction: Human immunoglobulins are the standard of care for patients with immunodeficiencies and represent a first-line treatment for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). This study aimed to eva...

T follicular helper (Tfh) cells have been reported to have multiple trajectories, including terminally differentiated Tfh, memory-like circulatory Tfh (cTfh), and, most recently, induced T follicular regulatory (iTfr) ce...

Diagnosis of specific antibody deficiency (SAD) relies on serotype-specific IgG responses to PPSV23; however, IgG titers do not measure opsonophagocytic function and may misclassify patients due to pre-vaccine titers, va...

BackgroundGranulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a noninfectious interstitial lung disorder characterized by granulomatous inflammation and lymphoid proliferation. It is most frequently identified...

Background and AimsPediatric lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD), both malignant and nonmalignant, may conceal underlying inborn errors of immunity (IEI), yet systematic screening is rarely performed. We hypothesized tha...

Background and AimsCHARGE syndrome (OMIM#214800) is a rare hereditary monogenic disease with an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. It is characterized by multiple congenital malformations and is caused by pathoge...

Clinical research and real-world observational studies are essential for advancing the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases, such as inborn errors of immunity/primary immune disorders (IEI/PID). To support efficient ...

Abstract Serum free light chains (sFLCs) have recently been introduced as a diagnostic biomarker in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients. Most patients with CVID have undetectable or lower levels of sFLCs com...

X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) presents as T-B+NK- SCID, due to mutations in the common γ chain (IL2RG/CD132), a shared component of several cytokine receptors. Without definitive therapy, SCID-X1 i...

BackgroundBehçet’s disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder whose diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping features with other inflammatory conditions and primary immunodeficiencies (1). In patients with ...

IntroductionHyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM) is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by impaired immunoglobulin class-switch recombination, most commonly due to mutations in the CD40 ligand (CD40L) gene. Affected patie...

Primary Immunodeficiencies (PI) include more than 550 monogenic disorders presenting with recurrent infections, autoimmunity, and significant morbidity. Early molecular diagnosis is essential for guiding targeted treatme...

IntroductionRituximab, an anti-CD40 antibody, is a commonly used B cell-depleting therapy. We present a case that illustrates the unveiling of an underlying common variable immune deficiency (CVID) after completion of ri...

ObjectiveEarly recognition of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) is critical to avoid morbidity and irreversible organ damage. Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) warning signs have long guided and still guide clinical suspicio...
