Individuals with JAK1 variants are affected by syndromic features encompassing autoimmunity, atopy, colitis, and dermatitis.

Inborn errors of immunity lead to autoimmunity, inflammation, allergy, infection, and/or malignancy. Disease-causing JAK1 gain-of-function (GoF) mutations are considered exceedingly rare and have been identified in only four families. Here, we use forward and reverse genetics to identify 59 individuals harboring one of four heterozygous JAK1 variants.

Renal complications in patients with predominantly antibody deficiency in the United States Immune Deficiency Network (USIDNET).

Background: Prior studies have reported that renal insufficiency occurs in a small percentage of patients with predominantly antibody deficiency (PAD) and in about 2% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency.

Objective: The goal of our study was to understand and evaluate the prevalence and type of renal complications in patients with PAD in the United States Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) cohort. We hypothesized that there is an association between certain renal complications and severity of immunophenotype in patients with PAD.

CVID-Associated Intestinal Disorders in the USIDNET Registry: An Analysis of Disease Manifestations, Functional Status, Comorbidities, and Treatment.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) has been subdivided into five phenotypes, including one marked by non-infectious enteropathies that lead to significant morbidity and mortality. We examined a large national registry of patients with CVID to better characterize this population and understand how the presence of enteropathy influences nutritional status, patient function, and the risk of additional non-infectious disorders in CVID patients. We also sought to illustrate the range of treatment strategies for CVID-associated enteropathies.

Respiratory Comorbidities Associated with Bronchiectasis in Patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency in the USIDNET Registry.

Background: Bronchiectasis is a major respiratory complication in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and is associated with recurrent pulmonary infections. However, it is unclear whether other infections or non-infectious respiratory conditions are related to its development.

Objective: To identify respiratory comorbidities associated with bronchiectasis in patients with CVID.

Who's your data? Primary immune deficiency differential diagnosis prediction via machine learning and data mining of the USIDNET registry.

Purpose: There are currently more than 480 primary immune deficiency (PID) diseases and about 7000 rare diseases that together afflict around 1 in every 17 humans. Computational aids based on data mining and machine learning might facilitate the diagnostic task by extracting rules from large datasets and making predictions when faced with new problem cases. In a proof-of-concept data mining study, we aimed to predict PID diagnoses using a supervised machine learning algorithm based on classification tree boosting.

A Registry Study of 240 Patients with X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia Living in the USA.

Purpose: To understand the natural history and clinical outcomes for patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in the United States utilizing the United States Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) patient registry.

Methods: The USIDNET registry was queried for data from XLA patients collected from 1981 to 2019. Data fields included demographics, clinical features before and after diagnosis of XLA, family history, genetic mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and mortality.

CVID-associated intestinal disorders in the USIDNET registry: An analysis of disease manifestations, functional status, comorbidities, and treatment.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) has been subdivided into five phenotypes, including one marked by non-infectious enteropathies that lead to significant morbidity and mortality. We examined a large national registry of patients with CVID to better characterize this population and understand how the presence of enteropathy influences nutritional status, patient function, and the risk of additional non-infectious disorders in CVID patients. We also sought to illustrate the range of treatment strategies for CVID-associated enteropathies.

Co-Occurring X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia and X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease: Two Isolated Pathogenic Variants in One Patient.

We present a unique and unusual case of a male patient diagnosed with two coexisting and typically unassociated X-linked conditions: he was initially diagnosed with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) followed by a diagnosis of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (XCGD) and an as of yet unpublished hypomorphic gp91phox variant in the gene. The latter was tested after the finding of granulomatous gingivitis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) was performed due to severe colitis and nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) of the liver.

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders in patients with inborn errors of immunity: Data from the USIDNET registry.

Rationale: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID), including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), are inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal mucosa mediated by complex immune mechanisms. Although there have been initial reports of EGID in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI), little is known about the presentation of EGID in immunodeficient individuals.

Methods: We queried the U.

Allergic manifestations of inborn errors of immunity and their impact on the diagnosis: A worldwide study.

Background: Allergies have long been observed in Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) and might even be the first presentation resulting in delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis in some cases. However, data on the prevalence of allergic diseases among IEI patients are limited and contradictory.

Objective: To provide a worldwide view of allergic diseases, across a broad spectrum of IEI, and their impact on the timely diagnosis of IEI.

Risk Factors of Pneumonia in Primary Antibody Deficiency Patients Receiving Immunoglobulin Therapy: Data from the US Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET).

Background: Despite immunoglobulin replacement (IgRT) therapy, some patients with primary antibody deficiency (PAD) continue to develop respiratory infections. Recurrent and severe respiratory infections, particularly pneumonia, can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we sought to determine the risk factors of developing pneumonia in PAD patients, already receiving IgRT.

Ocular Manifestations in Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders: A Report From the United States Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) Registry.

Background: Few published studies address eye disease in primary immunodeficiency (PID) despite ocular infections and autoimmune disease being known manifestations of immunodeficient states.

Objective: Data from the USIDNET Registry provide a resource to study ocular ailments in subjects with PID.

Methods: Ocular manifestations and patient characteristics were determined using data from 4624 patients with PID enrolled in the US Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) Registry.

X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia: Infection Frequency and Infection-Related Mortality in the USIDNET Registry.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene leading to B lymphocyte deficiency and susceptibility to infection. A potential benefit of earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation on morbidity and mortality in XLA is incompletely understood. In the USIDNET Registry, we describe infection frequency and infection-related mortality in patients with XLA and their relationship to age of diagnosis and treatment initiation.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Clinical Presentation, Treatment, and Outcomes From the USIDNET Registry.

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity caused by defects in the phagocytic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex, leading to increased susceptibility to infection and inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Up to 50% of patients have gastrointestinal (GI) involvement and meet diagnostic criteria for inflammatory bowel disease (CGD-IBD).

Objective: We analyzed patients with CGD from the US Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) registry to determine whether IBD changes the presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients with CGD.

New primary immunodeficiencies 2021 context and future.

Purpose Of Review: Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs), also called inborn errors of immunity (IEI), are genetic disorders classically characterized by an increased susceptibility to infection and/or disruption in the regulation of an immunologic pathway. This review summarizes and highlights the new IEI disorders in the IUIS 2019 report and 2020 interim report and discusses the directions for the future management of PIDs.

Recent Findings: Since 2017, the International Union of Immunologic Societies (IUIS) IEI committee has updated the IUIS classification of IEIs with 88 new gene defects and 75 new immune disorders.
