[ 1 ] - Immunomodulation of TLR2 and TLR4 by G2013 (alfa-L-Guluronic acid) in CVID Patients

Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immune disorder associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent infections and autoimmune diseases. CVID patients are frequently in contact with infectious pathogens leading to the activation of innate immunity through Toll-like receptors (TLR) affecting adaptive immunity. The aim of the present study was to test the immunomedula...

[ 2 ] - Phospho-SMC1 in-Cell ELISA based Detection of Ataxia Telangiectasia

BackgroundAtaxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a common genetically inherited cause of early childhood-onset ataxia. The infrequency of this disease, vast phenotype variation, disorders with features similar to those of A-T, and lack of definite laboratory test, make diagnosis difficult.  In addition, there is no rapid reliable laboratory method for identifying A-T heterozygotes, who susceptible to i...

[ 3 ] - The Etiology of Bronchiectasis in Iran

BackgroundBronchiectasis is defined by permanent and abnormal widening of the bronchi. Although this process occurs in the context of chronic airway infection and inflammation, since there is no accurate estimation of the etiology of the disease. This study aimed to determine the most important cause of bronchiectasis in Tehran, Iran.Materials and MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study we us...

[ 4 ] - Morbidity and Mortality of Iranian Patients with Hyper IgM Syndrome: a Clinical Analysis

Background: Defects in B cell class switch recombination (CSR) are a heterogeneous and yet very uncommon group of disorders which all have a genetic basis uniformly leading to hyper IgM (HIgM) syndrome. Due to the rare frequency of these conditions, a very small number of case series have been conducted on the affected patients. Objective: To shed some light on the morbidity and mortality regar...

[ 5 ] - بررسی بالینی، ایمونولوژیک و پی‌گیری بلندمدت کودکان مبتلا به بیماری نقص ایمنی متغیر شایع 

Background: Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency disease, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and heterogeneous clinical manifestations. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical and immunological features of pediatric patients with CVID. Methods: We reviewed the records of 69 children diagnosed under age of 16 years with CVID (35 males and 34 ...

[ 6 ] -

Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) is a diverse group of diseases, characterized by a defect in the immune system. These patients are susceptible to recurrent respiratory infections, gastrointestinal problems, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. In most cases, patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders have genetic defects and are monogenic disorders that follow a simple Mendelia...
