Systematic Review of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases in Malaysia: 1979–2020

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Introduction: Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are under-reported in Malaysia. The actual disease frequency of PID in this country is unknown due to the absence of a national patient registry for PID.Objective: This systematic review aimed to ...

Homozygous duplication identified by whole genome sequencing causes LRBA deficiency

npj Genomic Medicine, 2021
In more than one-third of primary immunodeficiency (PID) patients, extensive genetic analysis including whole-exome sequencing (WES) fails to identify the genetic defect.

Evaluation of Humoral and Cellular Responses in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccinated Immunocompromised Patients

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundImmunocompromised patients are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 and impaired vaccine response. In this observational prospective study, we evaluated immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in cohorts of primary or secondary ...

Molecular changes associated with increased TNF-α-induced apoptotis in naïve (TN) and central memory (TCM) CD8+ T cells in aged humans

Immunity & Ageing, 2018
Background Progressive T cell decline in aged humans is associated with a deficiency of naïve (TN) and central memory (TCM) T cells. We have previously reported increased Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis in TN and TCM T cells in aged ...

Update in Primary Immunodeficiencies.

Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2020
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are inherited disorders classically characterized by increased susceptibility to infections. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, genomic analysis (such as NGS) coupled with biochemical and cellular studies led to a more accurate definition for a growing number of novel genetic disorders associated with PIDs.

Consanguinity and Primary Immunodeficiencies [PDF]

Human Heredity, 2014
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders caused by defects in the immune system that predispose patients to infections, autoimmune diseases, lymphoproliferation and malignancies. Most PIDs are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern; therefore, they are more common in areas with high rates of consanguineous ...

Primary immunodeficiency and the microbiome

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2021
Purpose of review The current understanding of the relationship of the microbiota to clinical manifestation in patients with primary immunodeficiency, specifically the inflammatory processes caused by or that result in microbial dysbiosis, and their potential therapeutic options in primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID), is ...

A rare primary immunodeficiency [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2014
A 9-year-old girl presented with failure to thrive, chronic mucopurulent nasal discharge, recurrent skin pustules and recurrent episodes of purulent ear discharge since 2 years of age. She had coarse facial features with extensive eczema, multiple pyoderma scars, florid dental caries, retained primary dentition, hypermobile joints and a woody ...

Selective IgM Deficiency—An Underestimated Primary Immunodeficiency

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Although selective IgM deficiency (SIGMD) was described almost five decades ago, it was largely ignored as a primary immunodeficiency. SIGMD is defined as serum IgM levels below two SD of mean with normal serum IgG and IgA.
