Selective Immunoglobulin A Deficiency in Iranian Blood Donors: Prevalence, Laboratory and Clinical Findings

open access: yesIranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2008
Selective deficiency of immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most frequent primary hypogammaglobulinemia. As some IgA-deficient patients have IgA antibodies in their plasma which may cause anaphylactic reactions, blood centers usually maintain a list of IgA ...

Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we

Distinct Effects of Complement C4A and C4B Copy Numbers in Systemic Sclerosis Serological and Clinical Subtypes

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Complement component 4 (C4), encoded by C4A and C4B within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6, regulates the immune response and clears immune complexes. The variable copy number (CN) of C4 genes and retroviral human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV‐K) element influence its function.

Single‐cell RNA sequencing informs precision targeting of monogenic lupus associated with IKZF1 haploinsufficiency

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of immune dysregulation in a pediatric patient with monogenic lupus driven by IKZF1‐haploinsufficiency. Methods Peripheral immune cells from patient with IKZF1‐haploinsufficiency, lupus cases with no currently known genetic mutations, and healthy controls were analyzed using single‐cell RNA ...

Risk factors for relapse in ANCA‐associated vasculitis among patients with relapse after induction of remission with rituximab

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To determine risk factors for relapse of ANCA‐associated vasculitis (AAV) after re‐induction of remission with rituximab and discontinuation of maintenance therapy. Methods This is a post‐hoc analysis of the RITAZAREM clinical trial. Patients 15 years or older with AAV and a positive test for anti‐proteinase‐3 (PR3‐) or anti‐myeloperoxidase ...

Multi‐omic profiling reveals immune cell priming signature linked to lupus prognosis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi‐organ disease with widespread immune dysregulation and significant unmet clinical need. Blood‐based gene expression studies have advanced our understanding of SLE pathogenesis but may overlook critical tissue‐specific mechanisms that drive disease heterogeneity and progression.

Long‐term impact of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/ivacaftor on pulmonary, nutritional and metabolic outcomes in homozygous F508del cystic fibrosis patients: A real‐world cohort study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has markedly improved cystic fibrosis (CF) outcomes. However, its long‐term impact on nutrition, metabolism and liver health remains underexplored. We assessed 30‐month changes in pulmonary, nutritional, metabolic and inflammatory markers in people with CF (PwCF) homozygous for F508del.

Various Expression Patterns of α1 and α2 Genes in IgA Deficiency

open access: yesAllergology International, 2009
Background: IgA deficiency (IgAD) is the most common immunodeficiency, however the pathogenesis in most cases of IgAD is unknown. There are 2 subclasses of IgA, IgA1 and IgA2, and its heavy chains are encoded by 2 different genes, the α1 and α2 genes. To
