RESUMEN

IKAROS, encoded by IKZF1, is a tumor suppressor and a key hematopoietic transcription factor responsible for lymphoid and myeloid differentiation. IKZF1 mutations result in inborn errors of immunity presenting with increased susceptibility to infections, immune dysregulation, and malignancies. In particular, patients carrying IKZF1 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations mostly exhibit symptoms of immune dysregulation and polyclonal plasma cell proliferation. Herein, we describe seven new IKAROS GOF cases from two unrelated families, presenting with novel infectious, immune dysregulation and hematologic diseases. Two of the patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) due to poorly responsive complications. HCT was well-tolerated achieving full engraftment in both patients receiving reduced intensity, matched unrelated donor grafts, with no severe acute or chronic graft-vs-host-disease, and in remission from their diseases 2.5 and 4 years post-HCT, respectively. These results suggest that HCT is a valid and curative option in patients with IKAROS GOF disease and severe clinical manifestations.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be complicated by life-threatening organ toxicity and infection necessitating intensive care. Epidemiologic data have been limited by single-center studies, poor database granularity, and a lack of long-term survivors. To identify contemporary trends in intensive care unit (ICU) use and long-term outcomes, we merged data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and the Virtual Pediatric Systems databases. We identified 6995 pediatric patients with HCT aged ≤21 years who underwent first allogeneic HCT between 2008 and 2014 across 69 centers in the United States or Canada and followed patients until the year 2020. ICU admission was required for 1067 patients (8.3% by day +100, 12.8% by 1 year, and 15.3% by 5 years after HCT), and was linked to demographic background, pretransplant organ toxicity, allograft type and HLA-match, and the development of graft-versus-host disease or malignancy relapse. Survival to ICU discharge was 85.7%, but more than half of ICU survivors required ICU readmission, leading to 52.5% and 42.6% survival at 1- and 5-years post-ICU transfer, respectively. ICU survival was worse among patients with malignant disease, poor pretransplant organ function, and alloreactivity risk factors. Among 1-year HCT survivors, those who required ICU in the first year had 10% lower survival at 5 years and developed new dialysis-dependent renal failure at a greater rate (P<.001). Thus, although ICU management is common and survival to ICU discharge is high, ongoing complications necessitate recurrent ICU admission and lead to a poor 1-year outcome in select patients who are at high risk.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Functional T-cell responses are essential for virus clearance and long-term protection after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, whereas certain clinical factors, such as older age and immunocompromise, are associated with worse outcome. OBJECTIVE: We sought to study the breadth and magnitude of T-cell responses in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and in individuals with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) who had received COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. METHODS: Using high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics tools to characterize the T-cell receptor ß repertoire signatures in 540 individuals after SARS-CoV-2 infection, 31 IEI recipients of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, and healthy controls, we quantified HLA class I- and class II-restricted SARS-CoV-2-specific responses and also identified several HLA allele-clonotype motif associations in patients with COVID-19, including a subcohort of anti-type 1 interferon (IFN-1)-positive patients. RESULTS: Our analysis revealed that elderly patients with COVID-19 with critical disease manifested lower SARS-CoV-2 T-cell clonotype diversity as well as T-cell responses with reduced magnitude, whereas the SARS-CoV-2-specific clonotypes targeted a broad range of HLA class I- and class II-restricted epitopes across the viral proteome. The presence of anti-IFN-I antibodies was associated with certain HLA alleles. Finally, COVID-19 mRNA immunization induced an increase in the breadth of SARS-CoV-2-specific clonotypes in patients with IEIs, including those who had failed to seroconvert. CONCLUSIONS: Elderly individuals have impaired capacity to develop broad and sustained T-cell responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Genetic factors may play a role in the production of anti-IFN-1 antibodies. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are effective in inducing T-cell responses in patients with IEIs.

RESUMEN

The complex interplay between microbiota and immunity is important to human health. To explore how altered adaptive immunity influences the microbiome, we characterize skin, nares, and gut microbiota of patients with recombination-activating gene (RAG) deficiency-a rare genetically defined inborn error of immunity (IEI) that results in a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes. Integrating de novo assembly of metagenomes from RAG-deficient patients with reference genome catalogs provides an expansive multi-kingdom view of microbial diversity. RAG-deficient patient microbiomes exhibit inter-individual variation, including expansion of opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Corynebacterium bovis, Haemophilus influenzae), and a relative loss of body site specificity. We identify 35 and 27 bacterial species derived from skin/nares and gut microbiomes, respectively, which are distinct to RAG-deficient patients compared to healthy individuals. Underscoring IEI patients as potential reservoirs for viral persistence and evolution, we further characterize the colonization of eukaryotic RNA viruses (e.g., Coronavirus 229E, Norovirus GII) in this patient population.

RESUMEN

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be complicated by the development of organ toxicity and infection necessitating intensive care. Risk factors for intensive care admission are unclear due to heterogeneity across centers, and long-term outcome data after intensive care are sparse due to a historical paucity of survivors. Methods: The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) was queried to identify patients age ≤21 years who underwent a 1st allogeneic HCT between 2008-2014 in the United States or Canada. Records were cross-referenced with the Virtual Pediatric Systems pediatric ICU database to identify intensive care admissions. CIBMTR follow-up data were collected through the year 2020. Result: We identified 6,995 pediatric HCT patients from 69 HCT centers, of whom 1,067 required post-HCT intensive care. The cumulative incidence of PICU admission was 8.3% at day +100, 12.8% at 1 year, and 15.3% at 5 years post HCT. PICU admission was linked to younger age, lower median zip code income, Black or multiracial background, pre-transplant organ toxicity, pre-transplant CMV seropositivity, use of umbilical cord blood and/or HLA-mismatched allografts, and the development of post-HCT graft-versus-host disease or malignancy relapse. Among PICU patients, survival to ICU discharge was 85.7% but more than half of ICU survivors were readmitted to a PICU during the study interval. Overall survival from the time of 1st PICU admission was 52.5% at 1 year and 42.6% at 5 years. Long-term post-ICU survival was worse among patients with malignant disease (particularly if relapsed), as well as those with poor pre-transplant organ function and alloreactivity risk-factors. In a landmark analysis of all 1-year HCT survivors, those who required intensive care in the first year had 10% lower survival at 5 years (77.1% vs. 87.0%, p<0.001) and developed new dialysis-dependent renal failure at a greater rate (p<0.001). Conclusions: Intensive care management is common in pediatric HCT patients. Survival to ICU discharge is high, but ongoing complications necessitate recurrent ICU admission and lead to a poor 1-year outcome in many patients. Together, these data suggest an ongoing burden of toxicity in pediatric HCT patients that continues to limit long-term survival.

RESUMEN

Importance: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a recessively inherited disease characterized by systemic vasculitis, early-onset stroke, bone marrow failure, and/or immunodeficiency affecting both children and adults. DADA2 is among the more common monogenic autoinflammatory diseases, with an estimate of more than 35 000 cases worldwide, but currently, there are no guidelines for diagnostic evaluation or management. Objective: To review the available evidence and develop multidisciplinary consensus statements for the evaluation and management of DADA2. Evidence Review: The DADA2 Consensus Committee developed research questions based on data collected from the International Meetings on DADA2 organized by the DADA2 Foundation in 2016, 2018, and 2020. A comprehensive literature review was performed for articles published prior to 2022. Thirty-two consensus statements were generated using a modified Delphi process, and evidence was graded using the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence. Findings: The DADA2 Consensus Committee, comprising 3 patient representatives and 35 international experts from 18 countries, developed consensus statements for (1) diagnostic testing, (2) screening, (3) clinical and laboratory evaluation, and (4) management of DADA2 based on disease phenotype. Additional consensus statements related to the evaluation and treatment of individuals with DADA2 who are presymptomatic and carriers were generated. Areas with insufficient evidence were identified, and questions for future research were outlined. Conclusions and Relevance: DADA2 is a potentially fatal disease that requires early diagnosis and treatment. By summarizing key evidence and expert opinions, these consensus statements provide a framework to facilitate diagnostic evaluation and management of DADA2.

RESUMEN

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an inherited autosomal recessive disease characterized by autoinflammation (recurrent fever), vasculopathy (livedo racemosa, polyarteritis nodosa, lacunar ischemic strokes, and intracranial hemorrhages, end organ vasculitis), immunodeficiency, lymphoproliferation, immune cytopenias, and bone marrow failure. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is curative for DADA2 as it reverses the hematological, immune and vascular phenotype of DADA2. The primary goal of HCT in DADA2, like in other non-malignant diseases, is engraftment with the establishment of normal hematopoiesis and normal immune function. Strategies in selecting a preparative regimen should take into consideration the specific vulnerabilities to endothelial dysfunction and liver toxicity in DADA2 patients. Overcoming an increased risk of graft rejection while minimizing organ toxicity, graft-versus-host disease, and infections can be particularly challenging in DADA2 patients. This review will discuss approaches to HCT in DADA2 patients including disease-specific considerations, barriers to successful engraftment, post-HCT complications, and clinical outcomes of published patients with DADA2 who have undergone HCT to date.

RESUMEN

Mechanisms of T-cell survival after cytotoxic chemotherapy, including posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), are not well understood. Here, we explored the impact of PTCy on human CD8+ T-cell survival and reconstitution, including what cellular pathways drive PTCy resistance. In major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC), treatment with mafosfamide, an in vitro active cyclophosphamide analog, preserved a relatively normal distribution of naïve and memory CD8+ T cells, whereas the percentages of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and phenotypically stem cell memory (Tscm) T-cell subsets were increased. Activated (CD25+) and proliferating CD8+ T cells were derived from both naïve and memory subsets and were reduced but still present after mafosfamide. By contrast, cyclosporine-A (CsA) or rapamycin treatment preferentially maintained nonproliferating CD25- naïve cells. Drug efflux capacity and aldehyde dehydrogenase-1A1 expression were increased in CD8+ T cells in allogeneic reactions in vitro and in patients, were modulated by common γ-chain cytokines and the proliferative state of the cell, and contributed to CD8+ T-cell survival after mafosfamide. The CD8+ T-cell composition early after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in PTCy-treated patients was dominated by CD25+ and phenotypically memory, including Tscm and MAIT, cells, consistent with MLC. Yet, MHC-mismatched murine HCT studies revealed that peripherally expanded, phenotypically memory T cells 1 to 3 months after transplant originated largely from naïve-derived rather than memory-derived T cells surviving PTCy, suggesting that initial resistance and subsequent immune reconstitution are distinct. These studies provide insight into the complex immune mechanisms active in CD8+ T-cell survival, differentiation, and reconstitution after cyclophosphamide, with relevance for post-HCT immune recovery, chemotherapy use in autologous settings, and adoptive cellular therapies.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS) is a combined immunodeficiency with a heterogeneous phenotype considered reversible by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). OBJECTIVES: This study sought to characterize HCT outcomes in APDS. METHODS: Retrospective data were collected on 57 patients with APDS1/2 (median age, 13 years; range, 2-66 years) who underwent HCT. RESULTS: Pre-HCT comorbidities such as lung, gastrointestinal, and liver pathology were common, with hematologic malignancy in 26%. With median follow-up of 2.3 years, 2-year overall and graft failure-free survival probabilities were 86% and 68%, respectively, and did not differ significantly by APDS1 versus APDS2, donor type, or conditioning intensity. The 2-year cumulative incidence of graft failure following first HCT was 17% overall but 42% if mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor(s) (mTORi) were used in the first year post-HCT, compared with 9% without mTORi. Similarly, 2-year cumulative incidence of unplanned donor cell infusion was overall 28%, but 65% in the context of mTORi receipt and 23% without. Phenotype reversal occurred in 96% of evaluable patients, of whom 17% had mixed chimerism. Vulnerability to renal complications continued post-HCT, adding new insights into potential nonimmunologic roles of phosphoinositide 3-kinase not correctable through HCT. CONCLUSIONS: Graft failure, graft instability, and poor graft function requiring unplanned donor cell infusion were major barriers to successful HCT. Post-HCT mTORi use may confer an advantage to residual host cells, promoting graft instability. Longer-term post-HCT follow-up of more patients is needed to elucidate the kinetics of immune reconstitution and donor chimerism, establish approaches that reduce graft instability, and assess the completeness of phenotype reversal over time.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is recommended in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs); however, little is known about immunogenicity and safety in these patients. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the impact of genetic diagnosis, age, and treatment on antibody response to COVID-19 vaccine and related adverse events in a cohort of patients with IEIs. METHODS: Plasma was collected from 22 health care worker controls, 81 patients with IEIs, and 2 patients with thymoma; the plasma was collected before immunization, 1 to 6 days before the second dose of mRNA vaccine, and at a median of 30 days after completion of the immunization schedule with either mRNA vaccine or a single dose of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine. Anti-spike (anti-S) and anti-nucleocapsid antibody titers were measured by using a luciferase immunoprecipitation systems method. Information on T- and B-cell counts and use of immunosuppressive drugs was extracted from medical records, and information on vaccine-associated adverse events was collected after each dose. RESULTS: Anti-S antibodies were detected in 27 of 46 patients (58.7%) after 1 dose of mRNA vaccine and in 63 of 74 fully immunized patients (85.1%). A lower rate of seroconversion (7 of 11 [63.6%]) was observed in patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy. Previous use of rituximab and baseline counts of less than 1000 CD3+ T cells/mL and less than 100 CD19+ B cells/mL were associated with lower anti-S IgG levels. No significant adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION: Vaccinating patients with IEIs is safe, but immunogenicity is affected by certain therapies and gene defects. These data may guide the counseling of patients with IEIs regarding prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the need for subsequent boosts.

RESUMEN

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections underlie a wide spectrum of both benign and malignant epithelial diseases. In this report, we describe the case of a young man who had encephalitis caused by herpes simplex virus during adolescence and currently presented with multiple recurrent skin and mucosal lesions caused by HPV. The patient was found to have a pathogenic germline mutation in the X-linked interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma gene (IL2RG), which was somatically reverted in T cells but not in natural killer (NK) cells. Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation led to restoration of NK cytotoxicity, with normalization of the skin microbiome and persistent remission of all HPV-related diseases. NK cytotoxicity appears to play a role in containing HPV colonization and the ensuing HPV-related hyperplastic or dysplastic lesions.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an inherited inborn error of immunity, characterized by autoinflammation (recurrent fever), vasculopathy (livedo racemosa, polyarteritis nodosa, lacunar ischemic strokes, and intracranial hemorrhages), immunodeficiency, lymphoproliferation, immune cytopenias, and bone marrow failure (BMF). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) blockade is the treatment of choice for the vasculopathy, but often fails to reverse refractory cytopenia. We aimed to study the outcome of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with DADA2. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study on the outcome of HCT in patients with DADA2. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Thirty DADA2 patients from 12 countries received a total of 38 HCTs. The indications for HCT were BMF, immune cytopenia, malignancy, or immunodeficiency. Median age at HCT was 9 years (range: 2-28 years). The conditioning regimens for the final transplants were myeloablative (n = 20), reduced intensity (n = 8), or non-myeloablative (n = 2). Donors were HLA-matched related (n = 4), HLA-matched unrelated (n = 16), HLA-haploidentical (n = 2), or HLA-mismatched unrelated (n = 8). After a median follow-up of 2 years (range: 0.5-16 years), 2-year OS was 97%, and 2-year GvHD-free relapse-free survival was 73%. The hematological and immunological phenotypes resolved, and there were no new vascular events. Plasma ADA2 enzyme activity normalized in 16/17 patients tested. Six patients required more than one HCT. CONCLUSION: HCT was an effective treatment for DADA2, successfully reversing the refractory cytopenia, as well as the vasculopathy and immunodeficiency. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: HCT is a definitive cure for DADA2 with > 95% survival.

RESUMEN

The deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessively inherited disease that has undergone extensive phenotypic expansion since being first described in patients with fevers, recurrent strokes, livedo racemosa, and polyarteritis nodosa in 2014. It is now recognized that patients may develop multisystem disease that spans multiple medical subspecialties. Here, we describe the findings from a large single center longitudinal cohort of 60 patients, the broad phenotypic presentation, as well as highlight the cohort's experience with hematopoietic cell transplantation and COVID-19. Disease manifestations could be separated into three major phenotypes: inflammatory/vascular, immune dysregulatory, and hematologic, however, most patients presented with significant overlap between these three phenotype groups. The cardinal features of the inflammatory/vascular group included cutaneous manifestations and stroke. Evidence of immune dysregulation was commonly observed, including hypogammaglobulinemia, absent to low class-switched memory B cells, and inadequate response to vaccination. Despite these findings, infectious complications were exceedingly rare in this cohort. Hematologic findings including pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), immune-mediated neutropenia, and pancytopenia were observed in half of patients. We significantly extended our experience using anti-TNF agents, with no strokes observed in 2026 patient months on TNF inhibitors. Meanwhile, hematologic and immune features had a more varied response to anti-TNF therapy. Six patients received a total of 10 allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) procedures, with secondary graft failure necessitating repeat HCTs in three patients, as well as unplanned donor cell infusions to avoid graft rejection. All transplanted patients had been on anti-TNF agents prior to HCT and received varying degrees of reduced-intensity or non-myeloablative conditioning. All transplanted patients are still alive and have discontinued anti-TNF therapy. The long-term follow up afforded by this large single-center study underscores the clinical heterogeneity of DADA2 and the potential for phenotypes to evolve in any individual patient.

RESUMEN

This is a report of a successful bone marrow transplant in an IFN-γR1 patient with progressive mycobacterial infection. PURPOSE: Hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with interferon gamma receptor deficiencies has been fraught with challenges, not the least of which is failure of engraftment and infectious complications. METHODS: This is a report of a successful hematopoietic cell transplant in an actively infected patient of advanced age. RESULTS: This case report shows successful engraftment and resolution of infection posttransplant using a matched related donor in a single institution. CONCLUSION: A successful curative HCT despite persistent, disseminated, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in a patient with AD-IFNγR1 suggests that this approach, while difficult, may be useful in other patients with otherwise refractory disease.

RESUMEN

Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is a potentially curative therapy for patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID). Safe and effective reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) approaches that are associated with low toxicity, use alternative donors, and afford good immune reconstitution are needed to advance the field. Twenty PID patients, ranging in age from 4 to 58 years, were treated on a prospective clinical trial of a novel, radiation-free and serotherapy-free RIC, T-cell-replete BMT approach using pentostatin, low-dose cyclophosphamide, and busulfan for conditioning with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This was a high-risk cohort with a median hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index of 3. With median follow-up of survivors of 1.9 years, 1-year overall survival was 90% and grade III to IV acute GVHD-free, graft-failure-free survival was 80% at day +180. Graft failure incidence was 10%. Split chimerism was frequently observed at early post-BMT timepoints, with a lower percentage of donor T cells, which gradually increased by day +60. The cumulative incidences of grade II to IV and grade III to IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were 15% and 5%, respectively. All aGVHD was steroid responsive. No patients developed chronic GVHD. Few significant organ toxicities were observed. Evidence of phenotype reversal was observed for all engrafted patients, even those with significantly mixed chimerism (n = 2) or with unknown underlying genetic defect (n = 3). All 6 patients with pre-BMT malignancies or lymphoproliferative disorders remain in remission. Most patients have discontinued immunoglobulin replacement. All survivors are off immunosuppression for GVHD prophylaxis or treatment. This novel RIC BMT approach for patients with PID has yielded promising results, even for high-risk patients.

RESUMEN

Patients with primary immunodeficiencies undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for difficult-to-control infections can experience immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) following engraftment. In 3 patients with post-HCT IRIS related to mycobacterial infection, in vitro data demonstrate the emergence of pathogen-specific immune responses and a concomitant rise in plasma inflammatory markers.

RESUMEN

Patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are potentially cured by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The spectrum of PIDs has expanded greatly beyond those that present in infancy or are diagnosed on newborn screening and require urgent, preemptive HCT. Many PID diagnoses are now made later in life, and the role of HCT is only considered for severe disease manifestations; in these cases, the kinetics and goals of a donor search may be different than for severe combined immunodeficiency. Across all PIDs, related donor searches have the additional selection factor of the inherited disease, and such searches may yield more limited options than searches for patients with hematologic malignancies; thus, unrelated donor options often become more critical in these patients. We retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of donor searches among patents with PIDs referred for HCT at the National Institutes of Health, where the minimum patient age for evaluation is 3 years and where donor options include matched sibling donors or matched related donors, HLA-haploidentical (haplo), or 7-8/8 HLA matched unrelated donors (mMUDs/MUDs). Patient (n = 161) and donor demographics, MUD search results, HLA typing, pedigrees, mutation testing, and donor selection data were collected. The National Marrow Donor Program HapLogic 8/8 HLA match algorithm was used to predict the likelihood of a successful MUD search and categorized as very good, good, fair, poor, very poor, or futile per the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Search Prognosis method. There were significant differences by PID mode of inheritance in patient age, disposition (receipt of HCT or not), donor source, and donor relatedness. A related or unrelated donor option could be identified for 94% of patients. Of living first-degree relatives (median, 3; range, 0 to 12 per patient), a median of 1 donor remained for autosomal dominant and X-linked (XL) diseases after HLA typing, mutation testing, and other exclusions, and a median of 2 donors remained for autosomal recessive (AR) diseases. Among patients with a PID of known mode of inheritance (n = 142), the best related donor was haplo for 99 (70%) patients, with 56 (39%) haplos age 40 years or older and 5 (4%) second-degree haplos; 13 (9%) had no family donor options. The best related donor was a heterozygote/asymptomatic carrier of the PID mutation in 36 (49%) patients with AR or XL disease (n = 73). Among patients with MUD search performed (n = 139), 53 (38%) had very poor/futile 8/8 MUD searches, including 6 (32%) of those with unknown PID mutation and therefore no family donor options. The MSKCC Search Prognosis was less favorable for those of non-European ancestry compared with European ancestry (P = .002). Most patients of Hispanic or African ancestry had very poor/futile MUD searches, 71% and 63%, respectively. No HCT recipients with very poor/futile MUD searches (n = 38) received 8/8 MUD grafts. Alternative donor options, including haplo and unrelated donors, are critical to enable HCT for patients with PIDs. MUD search success remains low for those of non-European ancestry, and this is of particular concern for patients with PIDs caused by an unknown genetic defect. Among patients with PIDs, related donor options are reduced and haplos age 40 years and older and/or mutation carriers are often the best family option.
