Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) relies on immunomodulatory drugs that can compromise immunity, inducing secondary immunodeficiency (SID). However, features of SID, such as hypogammaglobulinaemia and severe/recurrent infections, occur in only a minority of patients, suggesting a potential underlying genetic predisposition. Given the expanding spectrum of genes implicated in inborn errors of...
