Abstract
PURPOSE To understand the natural history and clinical outcomes for patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in the United States utilizing the United States Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) patient registry. METHODS The USIDNET registry was queried for data from XLA patients collected from 1981 to 2019. Data fields included demographics, clinical features before and after diagnosis of XLA, family history, genetic mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and mortality. RESULTS Data compiled through the USIDNET registry on 240 patients were analyzed. Patient year of birth ranged from 1945 to 2017. Living status was available for 178 patients; 158/178 (88.8%) were alive. Race was reported for 204 patients as follows: White, 148 (72.5%); Black/African American, 23 (11.2%); Hispanic, 20 (9.8%); Asian or Pacific Islander, 6 (2.9%), and other or more than one race, 7 (3.4%). The median age at last entry, age at disease onset, age at diagnosis, and length of time with XLA diagnosis was 15 [range (r) = 1-52 years], 0.8 [r = birth-22.3 years], 2 [r = birth-29 years], and 10 [r = 1-56 years] years respectively. One hundred and forty-one patients (58.7%) were < 18 years of age. Two hundred and twenty-one (92%) patients were receiving IgG replacement (IgGR), 58 (24%) were on prophylactic antibiotics, and 19 (7.9%) were on immunomodulatory drugs. Eighty-six (35.9%) patients had undergone surgical procedures, two had undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation, and two required liver transplantation. The respiratory tract was the most affected organ system (51.2% of patients) followed by gastrointestinal (40%), neurological (35.4%), and musculoskeletal (28.3%). Infections were common both before and after diagnosis, despite IgGR therapy. Bacteremia/sepsis and meningitis were reported more frequently before XLA diagnosis while encephalitis was more commonly reported after diagnosis. Twenty patients had died (11.2%). The median age of death was 21 years (range = 3-56.7 years). Neurologic condition was the most common underlying co-morbidity for those XLA patients who died. CONCLUSIONS Current therapies for XLA patients reduce early mortality, but patients continue to experience complications that impact organ function. With improved life expectancy, more efforts will be required to improve post-diagnosis organ dysfunction and quality of life. Neurologic manifestations are an important co-morbidity associated with mortality and not yet clearly fully understood.

Abstract
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene leading to B lymphocyte deficiency and susceptibility to infection. A potential benefit of earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation on morbidity and mortality in XLA is incompletely understood. In the USIDNET Registry, we describe infection frequency and infection-related mortality in patients with XLA and their relationship to age of diagnosis and treatment initiation. Among the 231 XLA patients enrolled in the Registry, respiratory infections (N = 203, 88%) were the most commonly reported. Among those deceased (N = 20) where cause of death was known (N = 17), mortality was attributed to infection in most (N = 12, 71%). Chronic lung disease, often a consequence of repeated lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), was also a frequent complication associated with mortality (N = 9, 53%). Age of diagnosis in years was lower for those without LRTI compared to those with (median 1.5 [IQR 0.5–3.3] vs. median 3.0 [IQR 1.0–5.0], p = 0.0026) and among living patients compared to deceased (median 1.8 [IQR 0.5–5.0] vs. median 2.7 [IQR 1.6–6.0], p = 0.04). Age at treatment initiation in years was lower among those without LRTIs compared to those with (median 1.0 [IQR 0.4–2.4] vs. median 2.8 [IQR 1.0–5.4], p = 0.0006). For every year increase in age at start of therapy, the odds of experiencing a LRTI was 1.216 (OR 1.216, 95% CI 1.048–1.411, p = 0.01). Given the expected finding of reduced LRTIs and mortality among those with earlier age at diagnosis, our study findings support inclusion of XLA in newborn screening programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massachusetts began newborn screening (NBS) for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) using measurement of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) from dried blood spots. OBJECTIVE We describe developments and outcomes from the first 10 years of this program (February 1, 2009, to January 31, 2019). METHODS TREC values, diagnostic, and outcome data from all patients screened for SCID were evaluated. RESULTS NBS of 720,038 infants prompted immunologic evaluation of 237 (0.03%). Of 237, 9 were diagnosed with SCID/leaky SCID (4% of referrals vs 0.001% general population). Another 7 were diagnosed with other combined immunodeficiencies, and 3 with athymia. SCID/leaky SCID incidence was approximately 1 in 80,000, whereas approximately 1 in 51,000 had severe T-cell lymphopenia for which definitive treatment was indicated. All patients with SCID/leaky SCID underwent hematopoietic cell transplant or gene therapy with 100% survival. One patient with athymia underwent successful thymus transplant. No known cases of SCID were missed. Compared with outcomes from the 10 years before SCID NBS, survival trended higher (9 of 9 vs 4 of 7), likely due to a lower rate of infection before treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our data support a single NBS testing-and-referral algorithm for all gestational ages. Despite lower median TREC values in premature infants, the majority for all ages are well above the TREC cutoff and the algorithm, which selects urgent (undetectable TREC) and repeatedly abnormal TREC values, minimizes referral. We also found that low naïve T-cell percentage is associated with a higher risk of SCID/CID, demonstrating the utility of memory/naïve T-cell phenotyping as part of follow-up flow cytometry.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) enrolled children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in a prospective natural history study of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) outcomes over the last decade. Despite newborn screening (NBS) for SCID, infections occurred prior to HSCT. This study's objectives were to define the types and timing of infection prior to HSCT in patients diagnosed via NBS or by family history (FH) and to understand the breadth of strategies employed at PIDTC centers for infection prevention. METHODS We analyzed retrospective data on infections and pre-transplant management in patients with SCID diagnosed by NBS and/or FH and treated with HSCT between 2010 and 2014. PIDTC centers were surveyed in 2018 to understand their practices and protocols for pre-HSCT management. RESULTS Infections were more common in patients diagnosed via NBS (55%) versus those diagnosed via FH (19%) (p = 0.012). Outpatient versus inpatient management did not impact infections (47% vs 35%, respectively; p = 0.423). There was no consensus among PIDTC survey respondents as to the best setting (inpatient vs outpatient) for pre-HSCT management. While isolation practices varied, immunoglobulin replacement and antimicrobial prophylaxis were more uniformly implemented. CONCLUSION Infants with SCID diagnosed due to FH had lower rates of infection and proceeded to HSCT more quickly than did those diagnosed via NBS. Pre-HSCT management practices were highly variable between centers, although uses of prophylaxis and immunoglobulin support were more consistent. This study demonstrates a critical need for development of evidence-based guidelines for the pre-HSCT management of infants with SCID following an abnormal NBS. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01186913.

Abstract
Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) represents a clinical descriptive diagnosis that was defined in the 1970s. Despite the vast increase in knowledge with regard to immune function and genetics, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains poorly understood in the majority of patients (75%); however, recent advances have led to a much clearer understanding of this heterogeneous group of disorders in the remaining 25%. These advances, along with developments in immune modulatory and reconstitution therapies, now permit sophisticated and specific targeting of therapies for individual patients. Methods: A literature review and author experience. Results: For > 50 years, immune globulin therapy has been applied to patients with CVID. There are several options open to patients, including a diversity of products and modes of administration. Stem cell therapy is increasingly applicable in patients with severe immune dysregulation. In some disorders (e.g., lipopolysaccharide-responsive and beige-like anchor protein, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 deficiencies), knowledge of the genetic basis and molecular pathophysiology permit targeted therapy by using small-molecule immune modulators and biologics. Conclusion: In the near future, it is likely that further advances in understanding the pathophysiology of CVID, together with ongoing development of biologics and small-molecule immune modulators will lead to additional targeted therapies for these patients.

Abstract
The association of immunodeficiency-related vaccine-derived rubella virus (iVDRV) with cutaneous and visceral granulomatous disease has been reported in patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs). The majority of these PID patients with rubella-positive granulomas had DNA repair disorders. To support this line of inquiry, we provide additional descriptive data on seven previously reported patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) (n = 3) and ataxia telangiectasia (AT) (n = 4) as well as eight previously unreported patients with iVDRV-induced cutaneous granulomas and DNA repair disorders including NBS (n = 1), AT (n = 5), DNA ligase 4 deficiency (n = 1), and Artemis deficiency (n = 1). We also provide descriptive data on several previously unreported PID patients with iVDRV-induced cutaneous granulomas including cartilage hair hypoplasia (n = 1), warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, immunodeficiency, myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome (n = 1), MHC class II deficiency (n = 1), Coronin-1A deficiency (n = 1), X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) (n = 1), and combined immunodeficiency without a molecular diagnosis (n = 1). At the time of this report, the median age of the patients with skin granulomas and DNA repair disorders was 9 years (range 3-18). Cutaneous granulomas have been documented in all, while visceral granulomas were observed in six cases (40%). All patients had received rubella virus vaccine. The median duration of time elapsed from vaccination to the development of cutaneous granulomas was 48 months (range 2-152). Hematopoietic cell transplantation was reported to result in scarring resolution of cutaneous granulomas in two patients with NBS, one patient with AT, one patient with Artemis deficiency, one patient with DNA Ligase 4 deficiency, one patient with MHC class II deficiency, and one patient with combined immunodeficiency without a known molecular etiology. Of the previously reported and unreported cases, the majority share the diagnosis of a DNA repair disorder. Analysis of additional patients with this complication may clarify determinants of rubella pathogenesis, identify specific immune defects resulting in chronic infection, and may lead to defect-specific therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the overall and site-specific incidence of cancer in subjects with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDD) enrolled in the United States Immune Deficiency Network (USIDNET) registry compared with age-adjusted cancer incidence in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) database. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that subjects with PIDD would have an increased incidence of cancer due to impaired immune function. METHODS Overall and site-specific cancer incidence rates were evaluated in subjects with PIDD (n = 3658) enrolled in the USIDNET registry from 2003 to 2015 and compared with age-adjusted incidence rates in the SEER database. RESULTS We observed a 1.42-fold excess relative risk of cancer in subjects with PIDD compared with the age-adjusted SEER population (P < .001). Men with PIDD had a 1.91-fold excess relative risk of cancer compared with the age-adjusted male population (P < .001), while women with PIDD had similar overall cancer rates compared with the age-adjusted female population. Of the 4 most common malignancies in men and women in SEER (lung, colon, breast, and prostate cancers), we found no significant increase in these diagnoses in subjects with PIDD. Significant increases in lymphoma in both men (10-fold increase, P < .001) and women (8.34-fold increase, P < .001) with PIDD were observed. CONCLUSIONS Excess incidence of cancer occurred in subjects with PIDD. An excess of lymphoma in specific PIDD populations principally drove this increased incidence, while no increased risk of the most common solid tumor malignancies was observed. These data point to a restricted role of the immune system in protecting from specific cancers.

Abstract
Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by normal immunoglobulins (Igs), IgA, IgM, total IgG, and IgG subclass levels, but with recurrent infection and diminished antibody responses to polysaccharide antigens following vaccination. There is a lack of consensus regarding the diagnosis and treatment of SAD, and its clinical significance is not well understood. Here, we discuss current evidence and challenges regarding the diagnosis and treatment of SAD. SAD is normally diagnosed by determining protective titers in response to the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. However, the definition of an adequate response to immunization remains controversial, including the magnitude of response and number of pneumococcal serotypes needed to determine a normal response. Confounding these issues, anti-polysaccharide antibody responses are age- and probably serotype dependent. Therapeutic strategies and options for patients with SAD are often based on clinical experience due to the lack of focused studies and absence of a robust case definition. The mainstay of therapy for patients with SAD is antibiotic prophylaxis. However, there is no consensus regarding the frequency and severity of infections warranting antibiotic prophylaxis and no standardized regimens and no studies of efficacy. Published expert guidelines and opinions have recommended IgG therapy, which are supported by observations from retrospective studies, although definitive data are lacking. In summary, there is currently a lack of evidence regarding the efficacy of therapeutic strategies for patients with SAD. We believe that it is best to approach each patient as an individual and progress through diagnostic and therapeutic interventions together with existing practice guidelines.

Abstract
PURPOSE X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a primary humoral immunodeficiency characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to infection. Although there is increased awareness of autoimmune and inflammatory complications in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), the spectrum of gastrointestinal manifestations has not previously been fully explored. METHODS We present a case report of a family with two affected patients with XLA. Given the gastrointestinal involvement of the grandfather in this family, we performed a retrospective descriptive analysis of XLA patients with reported diagnoses of GI manifestations and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or enteritis registered at the United States Immunodeficiency Network, a national registry of primary immunodeficiencies. RESULTS In this cohort of patients with XLA, we found that up to 35% had concurrent gastrointestinal manifestations, and 10% had reported diagnoses of IBD or enteritis. The most commonly reported mutations were missense, which have been associated with a less severe XLA phenotype in the literature. The severity of symptoms were wide ranging, and management strategies were diverse and mainly experimental. CONCLUSIONS Patients with XLA may require close monitoring with particular attention for GI manifestations including IBD and infectious enteritis. Further studies are needed to improve diagnosis and management of GI conditions in XLA patients.

Abstract
Human polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG) for therapeutic use has been available for decades. This drug was developed for treatment of antibody deficiency (replacement therapy), although its use has expanded into many anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory applications in recent years. This review focuses on IgG prescribing for replacement therapy. IgG for replacement is most often administered via the intravenous IgG (IVIG) or subcutaneous IgG (SCIG) routes. IVIG is usually administered every 34 weeks, and SCIG is usually administered weekly, although variations may be considered in all cases. Recently, a new product became available that uses hyaluronidase to facilitate absorption of large doses of SCIG less frequently (every 34 weeks, as with IVIG). There are important differences between the pharmacokinetics of these three routes of administration. IVIG therapy leads to high peaks and low troughs between infusions. IgG concentration fluctuates much less over time with SCIG. Hyaluronidase-facilitated SCIG is intermediate. SCIG may have lower bioavailability in comparison with IVIG and may require higher doses over time; this is not true for hyaluronidase SCIG. However, there are large variations in IgG half-life among individuals and with different products. Therefore, individualization of therapy is essential. Mild systemic flu-like adverse effects may affect up to 2025% of patients who receive IVIG, smaller fractions may experience more-severe symptoms, whereas anaphylaxis is exceedingly rare. General flu-like systemic adverse effects are minimal with SCIG (intermediate with hyaluronidase SCIG), but transient (24 hours), mild, local inflammatory symptoms at infusion sites are relatively common with both forms. Additional rare but important complications of IgG therapy include thrombotic events and hemolysis that can be seen at high doses with any route of administration. Renal adverse effects may occur with IVIG as well. The variety of IgG products and routes of administration available today creates many opportunities for physicians to work with patients to find the optimal therapy for all.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIGM) is a primary immunodeficiency with high morbidity and mortality compared with those seen in healthy subjects. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been considered a curative therapy, but the procedure has inherent complications and might not be available for all patients. OBJECTIVES We sought to collect data on the clinical presentation, treatment, and follow-up of a large sample of patients with XHIGM to (1) compare long-term overall survival and general well-being of patients treated with or without HCT along with clinical factors associated with mortality and (2) summarize clinical practice and risk factors in the subgroup of patients treated with HCT. METHODS Physicians caring for patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases were identified through the Jeffrey Modell Foundation, United States Immunodeficiency Network, Latin American Society for Immunodeficiency, and Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium. Data were collected with a Research Electronic Data Capture Web application. Survival from time of diagnosis or transplantation was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method compared with log-rank tests and modeled by using proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Twenty-eight clinical sites provided data on 189 patients given a diagnosis of XHIGM between 1964 and 2013; 176 had valid follow-up and vital status information. Sixty-seven (38%) patients received HCT. The average follow-up time was 8.5 ± 7.2 years (range, 0.1-36.2 years). No difference in overall survival was observed between patients treated with or without HCT (P = .671). However, risk associated with HCT decreased for diagnosis years 1987-1995; the hazard ratio was significantly less than 1 for diagnosis years 1995-1999. Liver disease was a significant predictor of overall survival (hazard ratio, 4.9; 95% confidence limits, 2.2-10.8; P < .001). Among survivors, those treated with HCT had higher median Karnofsky/Lansky scores than those treated without HCT (P < .001). Among patients receiving HCT, 27 (40%) had graft-versus-host disease, and most deaths occurred within 1 year of transplantation. CONCLUSION No difference in survival was observed between patients treated with or without HCT across all diagnosis years (1964-2013). However, survivors treated with HCT experienced somewhat greater well-being, and hazards associated with HCT decreased, reaching levels of significantly less risk in the late 1990s. Among patients treated with HCT, treatment at an early age is associated with improved survival. Optimism remains guarded as additional evidence accumulates.

Abstract
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) have jointly accepted responsibility for establishing the "Practice parameter for the diagnosis and management of primary immunodeficiency." This is a complete and comprehensive document at the current time. The medical environment is a changing environment, and not all recommendations will be appropriate for all patients. Because this document incorporated the efforts of many participants, no single individual, including those who served on the Joint Task Force, is authorized to provide an official AAAAI or ACAAI interpretation of these practice parameters. Any request for information about or an interpretation of these practice parameters by the AAAAI or ACAAI should be directed to the Executive Offices of the AAAAI, the ACAAI, and the Joint Council of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. These parameters are not designed for use by pharmaceutical companies in drug promotion.

Abstract
Background Hizentra® (IGSC 20 %) is a 20 % liquid IgG product approved for subcutaneous administration in adults and children 2 years of age and older who have primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD). There is limited information about the use of IGSC 20 % in very young children including those less than 5 years of age. Methods A retrospective chart review involved 88 PIDD infants and children less than 5 years of age who received Hizentra®. Results The mean age at the start of Hizentra® was 34 months (range 2 to 59 months). IGSC 20 % was administered weekly to 86 infants (two additional infants received twice weekly and three times weekly infusions, respectively) and included an average of 63 infusions (range 6–182) for an observation period up to 45.5 months. Infusion by manual delivery occurred in 15 patients. The mean dose was 674 mg/kg/4 weeks. The mean IgG level was 942 mg/dL while on IGSC 20 %, compared to a mean trough IgG level of 794 mg/dL (p < 0.0001) during intravenous or subcutaneous IgG administration prior to IGSC 20 %. Average infusion time was 47 (range 5–120) minutes, and the median number of infusion sites was 2 (range 1–4). Local reactions were mostly mild and observed in 36/88 (41 %) children. No serious adverse events were reported. A significant increase in weight percentile (7 % ± 19.2, p = 0.0012) among subjects was observed during IGSC 20 % administration. The rate of serious bacterial infections was 0.067 per patient-year while receiving IGSC 20 %, similar to previously reported efficacy studies. Conclusions Hizentra® is effective in preventing infections, and is well tolerated in children less than age 5 years.

Abstract
Primary immune deficiencies (PIDs) are a growing group of over 230 different disorders caused by ineffective, absent or an increasing number of gain of function mutations in immune components, mainly cells and proteins. Once recognized, these rare disorders are treatable and in some cases curable. Otherwise untreated PIDs are often chronic, serious, or even fatal. The diagnosis of PIDs can be difficult due to lack of awareness or facilities for diagnosis, and management of PIDs is complex. This document was prepared by a worldwide multi-disciplinary team of specialists; it aims to set out comprehensive principles of care for PIDs. These include the role of specialized centers, the importance of registries, the need for multinational research, the role of patient organizations, management and treatment options, the requirement for sustained access to all treatments including immunoglobulin therapies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, important considerations for developing countries and suggestions for implementation. A range of healthcare policies and services have to be put into place by government agencies and healthcare providers, to ensure that PID patients worldwide have access to appropriate and sustainable medical and support services.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) using assays to detect T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) began in Wisconsin in 2008, and SCID was added to the national recommended uniform panel for newborn screened disorders in 2010. Currently 23 states, the District of Columbia, and the Navajo Nation conduct population-wide newborn screening for SCID. The incidence of SCID is estimated at 1 in 100,000 births. OBJECTIVES To present data from a spectrum of SCID newborn screening programs, establish population-based incidence for SCID and other conditions with T-cell lymphopenia, and document early institution of effective treatments. DESIGN Epidemiological and retrospective observational study. SETTING Representatives in states conducting SCID newborn screening were invited to submit their SCID screening algorithms, test performance data, and deidentified clinical and laboratory information regarding infants screened and cases with nonnormal results. Infants born from the start of each participating program from January 2008 through the most recent evaluable date prior to July 2013 were included. Representatives from 10 states plus the Navajo Area Indian Health Service contributed data from 3,030,083 newborns screened with a TREC test. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Infants with SCID and other diagnoses of T-cell lymphopenia were classified. Incidence and, where possible, etiologies were determined. Interventions and survival were tracked. RESULTS Screening detected 52 cases of typical SCID, leaky SCID, and Omenn syndrome, affecting 1 in 58,000 infants (95% CI, 1/46,000-1/80,000). Survival of SCID-affected infants through their diagnosis and immune reconstitution was 87% (45/52), 92% (45/49) for infants who received transplantation, enzyme replacement, and/or gene therapy. Additional interventions for SCID and non-SCID T-cell lymphopenia included immunoglobulin infusions, preventive antibiotics, and avoidance of live vaccines. Variations in definitions and follow-up practices influenced the rates of detection of non-SCID T-cell lymphopenia. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Newborn screening in 11 programs in the United States identified SCID in 1 in 58,000 infants, with high survival. The usefulness of detection of non-SCID T-cell lymphopenias by the same screening remains to be determined.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the past, XLA was described as associated with several inflammatory conditions, but with adequate immune globulin treatment, these are presumed to have diminished. The actual prevalence is not known. METHODS A web-based patient survey was conducted December 2011- February 2012. Respondents were recruited from the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) patient database, online patient discussion forums and physician recruitment of patients. The questionnaire was developed jointly by IDF and by members of the USIDNET-XLA Disease Specific Working Group. Information regarding inflammatory conditions in patients with XLA was also obtained from the United States Immune Deficiency Network (USIDNET) Registry. RESULTS Based on 128 unique patient survey responses, the majority of respondents (69%) reported having at least one inflammatory symptom, with 53% reporting multiple symptoms. However, only 28% had actually been formally diagnosed with an inflammatory condition. Although 20% reported painful joints and 11% reported swelling of the joints, only 7% were given a diagnosis of arthritis. Similarly, 21% reported symptoms of chronic diarrhea and 17% reported abdominal pain, however only 4% had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Data from the USIDNET Registry on 149 patients with XLA, revealed that 12% had pain, swelling or arthralgias, while 18% had been diagnosed with arthritis. Similarly, 7% of these patients had abdominal pain and 9% chronic diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS Although patients with XLA are generally considered to have a low risk of autoimmune or inflammatory disease compared to other PIDD cohorts, data from this patient survey and a national registry indicate that a significant proportion of patients with XLA have symptoms that are consistent with a diagnosis of arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease or other inflammatory condition. Documented diagnoses of inflammatory diseases were less common but still increased over the general population. Additional data is required to begin implementation of careful monitoring of patients with XLA for these conditions. Early diagnosis and proper treatment may optimize clinical outcomes for these patients.

Abstract
The present uncertainty of which live viral or bacterial vaccines can be given to immunodeficient patients and the growing neglect of societal adherence to routine immunizations has prompted the Medical Advisory Committee of the Immune Deficiency Foundation to issue recommendations based on published literature and the collective experience of the committee members. These recommendations address the concern for immunodeficient patients acquiring infections from healthy subjects who have not been immunized or who are shedding live vaccine-derived viral or bacterial organisms. Such transmission of infectious agents can occur within the hospital, clinic, or home or at any public gathering. Collectively, we define this type of transmission as close-contact spread of infectious disease that is particularly relevant in patients with impaired immunity who might have an infection when exposed to subjects carrying vaccine-preventable infectious diseases or who have recently received a live vaccine. Immunodeficient patients who have received therapeutic hematopoietic stem transplantation are also at risk during the time when immune reconstitution is incomplete or while they are receiving immunosuppressive agents to prevent or treat graft-versus-host disease. This review recommends the general education of what is known about vaccine-preventable or vaccine-derived diseases being spread to immunodeficient patients at risk for close-contact spread of infection and describes the relative risks for a child with severe immunodeficiency. The review also recommends a balance between the need to protect vulnerable subjects and their social needs to integrate into society, attend school, and benefit from peer education.

Abstract
DOCK8 deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent sinopulmonary infections, dermatitis with cutaneous infections, elevated serum IgE levels, eosinophilia, and a high incidence of food allergy. Given the seriousness of DOCK8 deficiency, it is important to recognize it early and initiate appropriate therapy. Diagnosis relies on examining DOCK8 protein expression and sequencing of the 48 exons in the DOCK8 gene, but these assays are not always readily available. A major problem facing clinicians is that DOCK8 deficiency shares many clinical and laboratory features with severe atopic dermatitis. Here, we have identified biomarkers routinely measured by flow cytometry on whole blood in clinical immunology laboratories that may be used in distinguishing DOCK8 deficiency from severe atopic dermatitis. The use of these biomarkers may help the clinician identify those patients who are most likely to have DOCK8 mutations and would benefit from further specialized diagnostic testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1 cause a broad spectrum of disease, ranging from severe viral and bacterial infections (amorphic alleles) to mild disseminated mycobacterial disease (hypomorphic alleles) to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC; hypermorphic alleles). The hypermorphic mutations are also associated with arterial aneurysms, autoimmunity, and squamous cell cancers. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the role of STAT1 gain-of-function mutations in phenotypes other than CMC. METHODS We initially screened patients with CMC and autoimmunity for STAT1 mutations. We functionally characterized mutations in vitro and studied immune profiles and regulatory T (Treg) cells. After our initial case identifications, we explored 2 large cohorts of patients with wild-type forkhead box protein 3 and an immune dysregulation-polyendocrinopathy-enteropathy-X-linked (IPEX)-like phenotype for STAT1 mutations. RESULTS We identified 5 children with polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, and dermatitis reminiscent of IPEX syndrome; all but 1 had a variety of mucosal and disseminated fungal infections. All patients lacked forkhead box protein 3 mutations but had uniallelic STAT1 mutations (c.629 G>T, p.R210I; c.1073 T>G, p.L358W, c.796G>A; p.V266I; c.1154C>T, T385M [2 patients]). STAT1 phosphorylation in response to IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-21 was increased and prolonged. CD4(+) IL-17-producing T-cell numbers were diminished. All patients had normal Treg cell percentages in the CD4(+) T-cell compartment, and their function was intact in the 2 patients tested. Patients with cells available for study had normal levels of IL-2-induced STAT5 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Gain-of-function mutations in STAT1 can cause an IPEX-like phenotype with normal frequency and function of Treg cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) are a cause of severe combined immunodeficiency, but hypomorphic JAK3 defects can result in a milder clinical phenotype, with residual development and function of autologous T cells. Maternal T-cell engraftment is a common finding in infants with severe combined immunodeficiency but is not typically observed in patients with residual T-cell development. OBJECTIVE We sought to study in detail the molecular, cellular, and humoral immune phenotype and function of 3 patients with hypomorphic JAK3 mutations. METHODS We analyzed the distribution and function of T and B lymphocytes in 3 patients and studied the in vitro and in vivo responses of maternal T lymphocytes in 1 patient with maternal T-cell engraftment and residual production of autologous T lymphocytes. RESULTS B cells were present in normal numbers but with abnormal distribution of marginal zone-like and memory B cells. B-cell differentiation to plasmablasts in vitro in response to CD40 ligand and IL-21 was abolished. In 2 patients the T-cell repertoire was moderately restricted. Surprisingly, 1 patient showed coexistence of maternal and autologous T lymphocytes. By using an mAb recognizing the maternal noninherited HLA-A2 antigen, we found that autologous cells progressively accumulated in vivo but did not compete with maternal cells in vitro. CONCLUSION The study of 3 patients with hypomorphic JAK3 mutations suggests that terminal B-cell maturation/differentiation requires intact JAK3 function, even if partially functioning T lymphocytes are present. Maternal T-cell engraftment can occur in patients with JAK3 mutations despite the presence of autologous T cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of universal neonatal screening for T cell lymphocytopenia in enhancing quality of life and life expectancy for children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). METHODS Decision trees were created and analyzed to estimate the cost, life years, and quality adjusted life years (QALYs) across a population when universal screening for lack of T cells is used to detect SCID, as implemented in five states, compared to detection based on recognizing symptoms and signs of disease. Terminal values of each tree limb were derived through Markov models simulating the natural history of three cohorts: unaffected subjects; those diagnosed with SCID as neonates (early diagnosis); and those diagnosed after becoming symptomatic and arousing clinical suspicion (late diagnosis). Models considered the costs of screening and of care including hematopoietic cell transplantation for affected individuals. Key decision variables were derived from the literature and from a survey of families with children affected by SCID, which was used to describe the clinical history and healthcare utilization for affected subjects. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore the influence of these decision variables. RESULTS Over a 70-year time horizon, the average cost per infant was $8.89 without screening and $14.33 with universal screening. The model predicted that universal screening in the U.S. would cost approximately $22.4 million/year with a gain of 880 life years and 802 QALYs. Sensitivity analyses showed that screening test specificity and disease incidence were critical driving forces affecting the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Assuming a SCID incidence of 1/75,000 births and test specificity and sensitivity each at 0.99, screening remained cost-effective up to a maximum cost of $15 per infant screened. CONCLUSION At our current estimated screening cost of $4.22/infant, universal screening for SCID would be a cost effective means to improve quality and duration of life for children with SCID.

Abstract
Anaphylactic reactions to immunoglobulin infusions in immunodeficient patients with undetectable IgA have been attributed in several reports to IgG or IgE anti-IgA antibodies. However, other reports have not supported an association between such antibodies and the development of severe reactions. We have reviewed the articles reporting reactions to immunoglobulin products in IgA-deficient patients, as well as those describing the presence of such antibodies in the absence of reactions to infusions. A variety of factors might influence the association of adverse reactions with anti-IgA antibodies, including the serum concentration and isotype (IgG or IgE) of the anti-IgA antibody, its specificity (class or subclass specific), the method of measurement, and the IgA content of the gamma globulin infusion and its route of administration. The role of anti-IgA antibodies in causing anaphylaxis in IgA-deficient patients receiving gamma globulin therapy is still controversial. Larger (multicenter) studies are needed to further evaluate this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is characterized by metaphyseal dysplasia, bone marrow failure, increased risk of malignancies, and a variable degree of immunodeficiency. CHH is caused by mutations in the RNA component of the mitochondrial RNA processing (RMRP) endoribonuclease gene, which is involved in ribosomal assembly, telomere function, and cell cycle control. OBJECTIVES We aimed to define thymic output and characterize immune function in a cohort of patients with molecularly defined CHH with and without associated clinical immunodeficiency. METHODS We studied the distribution of B and T lymphocytes (including recent thymic emigrants), in vitro lymphocyte proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis in 18 patients with CHH compared with controls. RESULTS Patients with CHH have a markedly reduced number of recent thymic emigrants, and their peripheral T cells show defects in cell cycle control and display increased apoptosis, resulting in poor proliferation on activation. CONCLUSION These data confirm that RMRP mutations result in significant defects of cell-mediated immunity and provide a link between the cellular phenotype and the immunodeficiency in CHH.

Abstract
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a Primary Immune Deficiency that is under consideration for population-based newborn screening (NBS) by many NBS programs, and has recently been recommended for inclusion in the US uniform panel of newborn screening conditions. A marker of SCID, the T cell receptor excision circle (TREC), is detectable in the newborn dried blood spot using a unique molecular assay as a primary screen. The New England Newborn Screening Program developed and validated a multiplex TREC assay in which both the TREC analyte and an internal control are acquired from a single punch and run in the same reaction. Massachusetts then implemented a statewide pilot SCID NBS program. The authors describe the rationale for a pilot SCID NBS program, a comprehensive strategy for successful implementation, the screening test algorithm, the screening follow-up algorithm and preliminary experience based on statewide screening in the first year. The Massachusetts experience demonstrates that SCID NBS is a program that can be implemented on a population basis with reasonable rates of false positives.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are genetically determined disorders of the immune system resulting in greatly enhanced susceptibility to infectious disease, autoimmunity and malignancy. While individual PIDs are rare, as a group, it is estimated that between 1:2000 and 1:10 000 live births are affected by a PID. Moreover, PIDs can present at any age from birth to adulthood, posing a considerable challenge for the practising physician to know when and how to work-up a patient for a possible immune defect. In this review, we outline the basic organisation of the human immune system and the types of infections that occur when elements of the immune system are dysfunctional. Importantly, we provide practical guidelines for identifying patients who should be referred for assessment of possible immunodeficiency and an overview of screening investigations and effective therapeutic options available for these patients.

Abstract
The innate immune system provides critical mechanisms for the rapid sensing and elimination of pathogens. Adaptive immunity has evolved to provide a broader and more finely tuned repertoire of recognition for both self- and nonself-antigens. Adaptive immunity involves a tightly regulated interplay between antigen-presenting cells and T and B lymphocytes, which facilitate pathogen-specific immunologic effector pathways, generation of immunologic memory, and regulation of host immune homeostasis. Lymphocytes develop and are activated within a series of lymphoid organs comprising the lymphatic system. During development, sets of gene segments are rearranged and assembled to create genes encoding the specific antigen receptors of T and B lymphocytes. The rearrangement mechanism generates a tremendously diverse repertoire of receptor specificities capable of recognizing components of all potential pathogens. In addition to specificity, another principal feature of adaptive immunity is the generation of immunologic memory. During the first encounter with an antigen (pathogen), sets of long-lived memory T and B cells are established. In subsequent encounters with the same pathogen, the memory cells are quickly activated to yield a more rapid and robust protective response.

Abstract
We present a patient with hemifacial microsomia and immune deficiency. The patient is a 5-year-old with grade III microtia and Pruzansky type I right mandibular hypoplasia. She developed 25 pulmonary infections in 3 years, required hospitalization every 6 weeks to receive antibiotics, and experienced recurrent herpes stomatitis and esophagitis, staphylococcal bacteremia, urinary tract, sinus, and ear infections. She had low total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgA, and anti-pneumococcal antibody levels. She was unable to maintain protective pneumococcal titers following vaccination. The patient's 7-year-old sister also suffered from recurrent infections, had a left facial skin tag, and a left arachnoid cyst. We conclude that immune deficiency can occur in association with hemifacial microsomia.

Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency is the most prevalent clinically significant antibody deficiency at all ages. The disorder is defined principally by characteristic infection susceptibility with hypogammaglobulinemia and impaired-specific antibody response. Several recent large registry-based studies have defined distinct phenotypic subtypes. Several studies have also correlated specific immunologic markers with these phenotypes. The biochemical or genetic abnormality in the majority of patients remains unknown. Recently, several molecular genetic lesions have been defined. Among these, mutations of inducible costimulator, and CD19, appear to be disease causing by themselves. These account for about 1% of cases. Other mutations or polymorphisms, such as in the human homolog of Escherichia coli MutS 5 (MSH5), and transmembrane activator and calcium mobilizing ligand interactor, seem to be disease associated in 5-10% of patients, but may require additional immunologic abnormalities for full expression of the phenotype, as unaffected heterozygotes have also been described.

Abstract
This article reviews pharmacokinetic studies of IgG administration by intravenous and subcutaneous routes. Intravenous immunoglobulin pharmacokinetics have been studied during replacement therapy for primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and other special circumstances (eg, infection prophylaxis in neonates). Subcutaneous immunoglobulin pharmacokinetics have been studied only during replacement therapy for primary immunodeficiency. Published studies vary greatly with respect to the nature of the patients studied, dose regimens, sampling schedules, and pharmacokinetic models, making comparisons difficult. With either route of administration, there is large variation in individual IgG elimination rates. Periodic measurement of serum IgG concentration is critical to monitor the adequacy of replacement during therapy.

Abstract
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) may result from a variety of genetic defects that impair the development of T cells. Signaling mediated by the cytokine interleukin-7 is essential for the differentiation of T cells from lymphoid progenitors, and mutations of either the interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha) or its associated cytokine receptor chain, the common gamma chain (gammac), result in SCID. Here we report a case of SCID due to heterozygous mutations of the IL7R gene encoding IL-7Ralpha. A previously unrecognized mutation found within intron 3 created a new exon between exons 3 and 4 in the mRNA transcribed from this allele, producing a truncated, unstable mRNA. This mutation illustrates the necessity of evaluating both coding and non-coding regions of genes when searching for pathogenic mutations. Following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation of our patient, immune reconstitution was accompanied by two unusual complications, immune-mediated myositis and myasthenia gravis.
