Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) is extremely vast, ranging from conditions in which infectious susceptibility dominates the clinical picture to other diseases featured by prominent aspects of immune dysregulation. Specifically, IEI can present with autoimmune manifestations (including cytopenia, endocrinopathy, and others), atopic diseases, benign lymphoproliferation, and increased risk for hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies. The increasing recognition of immune dysregulation as a presenting sign of IEI opens the opportunity to improve early diagnosis in this category of patients. Also, the treatment of immune dysregulation in IEI represents a significant clinical challenge, although recent advances in immunology and genetics have allowed researchers to discover some new monogenic entities in which there is the possibility to provide specific therapeutic strategies targeting the molecular defect underlying the disease. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to help us in expanding the knowledge about immune dysregulation in IEI, and clinical aspects.
