ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the genetic causes of primary immunodeficiency (PID), a condition where the immune system doesn't function properly. People with PID often experience frequent and severe infections or other health issues related to the immune system. The study aims to understand these genetic factors by comparing individuals suspected of having PID with healthy individuals. This research could help identify new genetic causes of immunodeficiencies and improve future treatments.

If you or someone you know has symptoms suggesting primary immunodeficiency, you may be eligible to participate in this study, which is open to patients, healthy relatives, and volunteers of all ages and genders. Participants will need to provide consent for their information to be used in the study. There are no specific exclusions, making it easier for many individuals to join. By participating, you could help advance our understanding of these immune system disorders, which may lead to better management and care for those affected.
