Official Title: Molecular and Clinical Studies of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases
Brief Summary:
This study will try to identify mutations in the genes responsible for primary immunodeficiency disorders (inherited diseases of the immune system) and evaluate the course of these diseases in patients over time to learn more about the medical problems they cause. The immune system is composed of various cells (e.g., T and B cells and phagocytes) and other substances (complement system) that protect the body from infections and cancer. Abnormalities in the gene(s) responsible for the function of these components can lead to serious infections and other immune problems.
Patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency, Janus Associated Kinase 3 (JAK3) deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and other immunodeficiencies may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo a medical and family history, physical examination, and additional procedures and tests that may include the following:
