Abstract
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an emerging topic of interest in patients with immunodeficiency. Information about HRQOL in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is limited. The primary objective was to compare primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) patients with and without common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) on HRQOL domains using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) survey data from the United States Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) registry. The primary endpoint variables were scores on 7 HRQOL domains. The USIDNET registry was used to select patients with baseline PROMIS-29 data collected between 2015 and 2018. Descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test, and Student's two-sample t test were used to compare patients with CVID versus patients with non-CVID on demographic and clinical characteristics. The single-sample t test was used to compare sample means to the normed population mean of 50. A general linear model approach to multiple regression with backward selection was used to remove factors that did not contribute significant information to the multivariable models, while controlling for multiple testing. Potential explanatory variables included group (CVID/non-CVID), sex, age, and BMI. Among 184 PIDD patients, 146 (79%) were diagnosed with CVID. Patients had a mean (SD) age of 53 (13.8), were predominantly female (83%), and were Caucasian (98%). PROMIS-29 results revealed a significant effect of group (CVID/non-CVID) on the anxiety, fatigue, and social participation domains, with fatigue being the most statistically significant. Fatigue, anxiety, and social participation may be key factors influencing HRQOL among patients with CVID. Future prospective longitudinal studies using PROMIS-29 will be needed to confirm these findings and to determine the mechanisms through which these factors develop in CVID, and how they can be improved.

Abstract
Gene therapy presents an attractive alternative to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for treating patients suffering from primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID). The conceptual advantage of gene correcting a patient's autologous HSCs lies in minimizing or completely avoiding immunological complications arising from allogeneic transplantation while conferring the same benefits of immune reconstitution upon long-term engraftment. Clinical trials targeting X-linked chronic granulomatous disorder (X-CGD) have shown promising results in this context. However, long-term clinical benefits in these patients have been limited by issues of poor engraftment of gene-transduced cells coupled with transgene silencing and vector induced clonal proliferation. Novel vectors incorporating safety features such as self-inactivating (SIN) mutations in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) along with synthetic promoters driving lineage-restricted sustainable expression of the gp91phox transgene are expected to resolve the current pitfalls and require rigorous preclinical testing. In this chapter, we have outlined a protocol in which X-CGD mouse model derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been utilized to develop a platform for investigating the efficacy and safety profiles of novel vectors prior to clinical evaluation.

Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Hassan et al have turned the spotlight on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) of adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). They opened up the curtain of beliefs on this therapy that enables facts to be separated from fiction.
