Genetic testing for color vision deficiency
We studied the scientific literature and disease guidelines in order to summarize the clinical utility of genetic testing for color vision deficiency (CVD). Deuteranopia affects 1 in 12 males and is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner.

Genetic Studies on Myeloperoxidase Deficiency in Italy
Hereditary myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency is the most common neutrophil biochemical defect characterized by the lack of peroxidase activity. In order to extend the epidemiological studies on hereditary MPO deficiency in Italy, approximately 40,000 individuals were analyzed and 7 partial and 8 total MPO deficient subjects were identified.

Primary vs. Secondary Antibody Deficiency: Clinical Features and Infection Outcomes of Immunoglobulin Replacement [PDF]
Secondary antibody deficiency can occur as a result of haematological malignancies or certain medications, but not much is known about the clinical and immunological features of this group of patients as a whole. Here we describe a cohort of 167 patients
