Abstract excerpt
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of monogenic inborn errors of immunity. The genetic causes of these diseases can be identified using whole exome sequencing (WES). Here, DNA samples from 106 patients with a clinical suspicion of PID were subjected to WES in order to test the diagnostic yield of this test in a highly consanguineous community. A likely genetic diagnosis was achieved in...
