Immune system disorders in children include primary (inherited) and secondary (acquired) immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases, atopic diseases, and immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Share on ...

Representing a group of over 450 rare inherited conditions, Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDs) are typically characterised by increased susceptibility to infections and dysregulation of the ...

Skin cancer is typically caused by damage to the skin's cells from ultraviolet radiation. But a recent case study has just shed light on another potential cause: human papillomavirus. Early results ...

Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDDs)—now more commonly called inborn errors of immunity (IEI)—are rare genetic disorders that cause at least one part of the immune system to malfunction. Though ...

Scientists have pinpointed genetic changes that can leave children born with little to no immune defence against infection. In a new study of 11 affected individuals, researchers from Newcastle ...

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a type of genetic condition called primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) that causes low levels of antibodies (protective proteins) in your body. This ...

Researchers have identified the genetic basis behind certain severe immunodeficiencies in newborns, paving the way for potential screening and emerging therapies. The findings, published today (24 May ...

The cellular glitches underlying a rare genetic disorder called activated PI3K Delta syndrome 2 (APDS2) have been identified. The disorder is caused by genetic variations that disrupt immune cell ...

An international consortium co-led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center immunogeneticist Rubén Martínez-Barricarte, PhD, has discovered a new genetic disorder that causes immunodeficiency and ...
