Discovery of single-gene inborn errors of immunity by next generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Many patients with clinical and laboratory evidence of primary immunodeficiency do not have a gene specific diagnosis. The use of next generation sequencing, particularly whole exome sequencing, has given us an extraordinarily powerful tool to identify the disease-causing genes in some of these patients. At least 34 new gene defects have been identified in the last 4 years. These findings document the striking...
