Development of a Clinical Severity Score for Indian Sickle Cell Anaemia Patients

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a monogenic disorder but shows variable disease severity. We evaluated the utility of paediatric severity scores (PSS) in Indian patients and developed two modified scores: Indian Severity Score 1 (ISS1) by adding four clinical parameters to PSS, and ISS2 by excluding four biochemical measures from ISS1.

A novel case of autosomal recessive CARD11 loss‐of‐function underlying impaired antiviral immunity and a review of literature

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 5, 2026.
We report on a patient homozygous for a novel autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function CARD11 variant, with susceptibility to live attenuated virus (LAV) vaccines and impaired clearance of multiple naturally acquired respiratory viral infections. Inborn errors of immunity affecting the CARD11‐BCL10‐MALT1 (CBM) complex should be considered in individuals ...

Variation of 46 Innate Immune Genes Evaluated for their Contribution in Pneumococcal Meningitis Susceptibility and Outcome

EBioMedicine, 2016
Pneumococcal meningitis is the most common and severe form of bacterial meningitis. Early recognition of the pathogen and subsequent innate immune response play a vital role in disease susceptibility and outcome. Genetic variations in innate immune genes
