Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) comprise a diverse spectrum of 485 disorders as recognized by the International Union of Immunological Societies Committee on Inborn Error of Immunity in 2022. While IEI are monogenic by definition, they illuminate various pathways involved in the pathogenesis of polygenic immune dysregulation as in autoimmune or autoinflammatory syndromes, or in more common infectious diseases that may not have a significant genetic basis. Rapid improvement in genomic technologies has been the main driver of the accelerated rate of discovery of IEI and has led to the development of innovative treatment strategies. In this review, we will explore various facets of IEI, delving into the distinctions between PIDD and PIRD. We will examine how Mendelian inheritance patterns contribute to these disorders and discuss advancements in functional genomics that aid in characterizing new IEI. Additionally, we will explore how emerging genomic tools help to characterize new IEI as well as how they are paving the way for innovative treatment approaches for managing and potentially curing these complex immune conditions.

Abstract
IPOPI held its first Global Multi-Stakeholders' Summit on 23-24 June 2022 in Cascais, Portugal. This IPOPI initiative was designed to set the stage for a stimulating forward-thinking meeting and brainstorming discussion among stakeholders on the future priorities of the PID community. All participants were actively engaged in the entire Summit, bringing provocative questions to ensure a high level of discussion and engagement, and partnered in identifying the outlooks, unmet needs, hurdles and opportunities of PIDs for 2030. The topics that were covered include diagnosis (e.g., newborn screening [NBS], genomic sequencing- including ethical aspects on the application of genomics on NBS, the role of more accurate and timely diagnostics in impacting personalized management), treatment (e.g., the therapeutic evolution of immunoglobulins in a global environment, new therapies such as targeted therapies, new approaches in curative therapies), the interactions of Primary ID with Secondary ID, Autoinflammatory Diseases and other diseases as the field experiences an incessant evolution, and also the avenues for research in the field of humanities and human sciences such as Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs), and Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQoL). During this meeting, all participants contributed to the drafting of recommendations based on our common understanding of the future opportunities, challenges, and scenarios. As a collection of materials, perspectives and summaries, they are succinct and impactful and may help determine some of the next key steps for the PID community.

Abstract
Purpose The clinical spectrum of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) includes predisposition to infections, autoimmune/inflammatory complications and malignancy. Liver disease is developed by a proportion of patients with CVID, but limited evidence is available about its prevalence, pathogenesis and prognostic outcome. This lack of evidence leads to the absence of guidelines in clinical practice. In this study, we aimed at defining the characteristics, course and management of this CVID complication in Spain. Methods Spanish reference centers were invited to complete a cross-sectional survey. Thirty-eight patients with CVID-related liver disease from different hospitals were evaluated by a retrospective clinical course review. Results In this cohort, abnormal liver function and thrombocytopenia were found in most of the patients (95% and 79% respectively), in keeping with the higher incidence of abnormal liver imaging and splenomegaly. The most common histological findings included nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) and lymphocytic infiltration, which have been associated with portal hypertension (PHTN) leading to a poorer prognosis. Autoimmune/inflammatory complications occurred in 82% of the CVID patients that developed liver disease and 52% of the patients treated with immunomodulators showed a reduction in the liver function tests' abnormalities during treatment. Among the experts that conducted the survey, there was 80% or more consensus that the workup of CVID-related liver disease requires liver profile, abdominal ultrasound and transient elastography. The majority agreed that liver biopsy should be essential for diagnosis. There was 94% consensus that endoscopic studies should be performed in the presence of PHTN. However, there was 89% consensus that there is insufficient evidence on the management of these patients. Conclusion Liver disease varies in severity and may contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality in patients with CVID. Hence the importance of close follow-up and screening of this CVID complication to prompt early targeted intervention. Further research is needed to evaluate the pathophysiology of liver disease in patients with CVID to identify personalized treatment options. This study emphasizes the urgent need to develop international guidelines for the diagnosis and management of this CVID complication.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is curative for severe inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), with recent data suggesting alloSCT in adulthood is safe and effective in selected patients. However, questions remain regarding the indications for and optimal timing of transplant. We retrospectively compared outcomes of transplanted vs matched nontransplanted adults with severe IEIs. Seventy-nine patients (aged ≥ 15 years) underwent alloSCT between 2008 and 2018 for IEIs such as chronic granulomatous disease (n = 20) and various combined immune deficiencies (n = 59). A cohort of nontransplanted patients from the French Centre de Référence Déficits Immunitaires Héréditaires registry was identified blindly for case-control analysis, with ≤3 matched controls per index patient, without replacement. The nontransplanted patients were matched for birth decade, age at last review greater than index patient age at alloSCT, chronic granulomatous disease or combined immune deficiencies, and autoimmune/lymphoproliferative complications. A total of 281 patients were included (79 transplanted, 202 nontransplanted). Median age at transplant was 21 years. Transplant indications were mainly lymphoproliferative disease (n = 23) or colitis (n = 15). Median follow-up was 4.8 years (interquartile range, 2.5-7.2). One-year transplant-related mortality rate was 13%. Estimated disease-free survival at 5 years was higher in transplanted patients (58% vs 33%; P = .007). Nontransplanted patients had an ongoing risk of severe events, with an increased mean cumulative number of recurrent events compared with transplanted patients. Sensitivity analyses removing patients with common variable immune deficiency and their matched transplanted patients confirm these results. AlloSCT prevents progressive morbidity associated with IEIs in adults, which may outweigh the negative impact of transplant-related mortality.

Abstract
Heterozygous mutations in CTLA-4 result in an inborn error of immunity with an autoimmune and frequently severe clinical phenotype. Autologous T cell gene therapy may offer a cure without the immunological complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Here, we designed a homology-directed repair (HDR) gene editing strategy that inserts the CTLA-4 cDNA into the first intron of the CTLA-4 genomic locus in primary human T cells. This resulted in regulated expression of CTLA-4 in CD4+ T cells, and functional studies demonstrated CD80 and CD86 transendocytosis. Gene editing of T cells isolated from three patients with CTLA-4 insufficiency also restored CTLA-4 protein expression and rescued transendocytosis of CD80 and CD86 in vitro. Last, gene-corrected T cells from CTLA-4-/- mice engrafted and prevented lymphoproliferation in an in vivo murine model of CTLA-4 insufficiency. These results demonstrate the feasibility of a therapeutic approach using T cell gene therapy for CTLA-4 insufficiency.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are heterogeneous inborn errors of the immune system. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is curative and safe at the pediatric age but remains underperformed in adults. We report our experience on 32 consecutive adult patients with various PID including 17 (53%) with a combined immune deficiency, six (19%) with a disease of immune dysregulation and nine (28%) with a chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who underwent an allo-HSCT between 2011 and 2020. The median age at transplant was 27 years (17-41). All assessable patients engrafted. The majority of patients received a fludarabine-Busulfan (FB) based regimen (FB2-3 in 16, FB4 in 12). Overall survival (OS) was 80.4% (100% for CGD and 74% for other PID patients) at 9 months and beyond (median follow-up 51.6 months). Six patients died, all in the first-year post-transplant. Cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD/chronic GVHD were 18%/22%. Stem cell source, GVHD prophylaxis and conditioning intensity had no impact on OS. All surviving patients had over 90% donor chimerism, immune reconstitution, no sign of active PID related complications and were clinically improved. Allo-HSCT is effective in young adults PID patients with an acceptable toxicity and should be discussed in case of life-threatening PID.

Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the immune system. Many IEIs have a severe clinical phenotype that results in progressive morbidity and premature mortality. Over 450 IEIs have been described and the incidence of all IEIs is 1/1,000–10,000 people. Current treatment options are unsatisfactory for many IEIs. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is curative but requires the availability of a suitable donor and carries a risk of graft failure, graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Autologous gene therapy (GT) offers a cure whilst abrogating the immunological complications of alloHSCT. Gene editing (GE) technologies allow the precise modification of an organisms’ DNA at a base-pair level. In the context of genetic disease, this enables correction of genetic defects whilst preserving the endogenous gene control machinery. Gene editing technologies have the potential to transform the treatment landscape of IEIs. In contrast to gene addition techniques, gene editing using the CRISPR system repairs or replaces the mutation in the DNA. Many IEIs are limited to the lymphoid compartment and may be amenable to T cell correction alone (rather than haematopoietic stem cells). T cell Gene editing has the advantages of higher editing efficiencies, reduced risk of deleterious off-target edits in terminally differentiated cells and less toxic conditioning required for engraftment of lymphocytes. Although most T cells lack the self-renewing property of HSCs, a population of T cells, the T stem cell memory compartment has long-term multipotent and self-renewal capacity. Gene edited T cell therapies for IEIs are currently in development and may offer a less-toxic curative therapy to patients affected by certain IEIs. In this review, we discuss the history of T cell gene therapy, developments in T cell gene editing cellular therapies before detailing exciting pre-clinical studies that demonstrate gene editing T cell therapies as a proof-of-concept for several IEIs.

Abstract
Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), a polyclonal antibody, is used in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to prevent graft-vs.-host-disease (GvHD) and graft failure (GF). Overexposure to ATG leads to poor early T-cell recovery, which is associated with viral infections and poor survival. Patients with severe inflammation are at high risk for GF and GvHD, and may have active infections warranting swift T-cell recovery. As ATG exposure may be critical in these patients, individualized dosing combined with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may improve outcomes. We describe the individualized dosing approach, an optimal sampling scheme, the assay to measure the active fraction of ATG, and the workflow to perform TDM. Using a previously published population pharmacokinetic (PK) model, we determine the dose to reach optimal exposures associated with low GvHD and rejection, and at the same time promote T-cell recovery. Based on an optimal sampling scheme, peak and trough samples are taken during the first 3 days of once-daily dosing. The fraction of ATG able to bind to T-cells (active ATG) is analyzed using a bio-assay in which Jurkat cells are co-cultured with patient’s plasma and the binding is quantified using flow cytometry. TDM is performed based on these ATG concentrations on the third day of dosing; subsequent doses can be adjusted based on the expected area under the curve. We show that individualized ATG dosing with TDM is feasible. This approach is unique in the setting of antibody treatment and may result in better immune reconstitution post-HCT and subsequently better survival chances.

Abstract
Defects in the DOCK8 gene causes combined immunodeficiency termed DOCK8 immunodeficiency syndrome (DIDS). DIDS previously belonged to the disease category of autosomal recessive hyper IgE syndrome (AR-HIES) but is now classified as a combined immunodeficiency (CID). This genetic disorder induces early onset of susceptibility to severe recurrent viral and bacterial infections, atopic diseases and malignancy resulting in high morbidity and mortality. This pathological state arises from impairment of actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement, which induces improper immune cell migration-, survival-, and effector functions. Owing to the severity of the disease, early allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is recommended even though it is associated with risk of unintended adverse effects, the need for compatible donors, and high expenses. So far, no alternative therapies have been developed, but the monogenic recessive nature of the disease suggests that gene therapy may be applied. The advent of the CRISPR/Cas gene editing system heralds a new era of possibilities in precision gene therapy, and positive results from clinical trials have already suggested that the tool may provide definitive cures for several genetic disorders. Here, we discuss the potential application of different CRISPR/Cas-mediated genetic therapies to correct the DOCK8 gene. Our findings encourage the pursuit of CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing approaches, which may constitute more precise, affordable, and low-risk definitive treatment options for DOCK8 deficiency.

Abstract
AbstractEx-vivo gene therapy (GT) with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) engineered with integrating vectors is a promising treatment for monogenic diseases, but lack of centralized databases is hampering an overall outcomes assessment. Here we aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of the short and long term safety of HSPC-GT from trials using different vector platforms. We review systematically the literature on HSPC-GT to describe survival, genotoxicity and engraftment of gene corrected cells. From 1995 to 2020, 55 trials for 14 diseases met inclusion criteria and 406 patients with primary immunodeficiencies (55.2%), metabolic diseases (17.0%), haemoglobinopathies (24.4%) and bone marrow failures (3.4%) were treated with gammaretroviral vector (γRV) (29.1%), self-inactivating γRV (2.2%) or lentiviral vectors (LV) (68.7%). The pooled overall incidence rate of death is 0.9 per 100 person-years of observation (PYO) (95% CI = 0.37–2.17). There are 21 genotoxic events out of 1504.02 PYO, which occurred in γRV trials (0.99 events per 100 PYO, 95% CI = 0.18–5.43) for primary immunodeficiencies. Pooled rate of engraftment is 86.7% (95% CI = 67.1–95.5%) for γRV and 98.7% (95% CI = 94.5–99.7%) for LV HSPC-GT (p = 0.005). Our analyses show stable reconstitution of haematopoiesis in most recipients with superior engraftment and safer profile in patients receiving LV-transduced HSPCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the currently available definitive therapies for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) with a strong focus on recent advances in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and gene therapy, including the use of alternative donors, graft manipulation techniques, less toxic approaches for pretransplant conditioning and gene transfer using autologous hematopoietic stem cells. RECENT FINDINGS In the absence of a matched sibling or a matched related donor, therapeutic alternatives for patients with IEIs include alternative donor transplantation or autologous gene therapy, which is only available for selected IEIs. In recent years, several groups have published their experience with haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HHCT) using different T-cell depletion strategies. Overall survival and event free survival results, although variable among centers, are encouraging. Preliminary results from autologous gene therapy trials with safer vectors and low-dose busulfan conditioning have shown reproducible and successful results. Both strategies have become valid therapeutic options for patients with IEIs. A new promising and less toxic conditioning regimen strategy is also discussed. SUMMARY Definitive therapies for IEIs with HCT and gene therapy are in stage of evolution, not only to refine their efficacy and safety but also their reach to a larger number of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-infectious manifestations, i.e. allergy, autoimmunity/inflammation, lymphoproliferation and malignancies are known to be observed in many primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) and to participate to their prognosis. OBJECTIVE In order to have a global view on their occurrence, we retrieved data from a retrospective cohort of 1375 patients included in the French national registry of PID (CEREDIH) for whom we had a 10-year follow-up since inclusion in the registry. METHODS These patients were followed for 10 years (2009-2018) by specialized centers in University Hospitals. This study shows that 20.1% of patients without prior curative therapy (n=1163) developed at least one manifestation (event) encompassing 277 events. RESULTS Autoimmune/inflammatory events (n=138) and malignancies (n=85) affected all age classes and virtually all PID diagnostic groups. They were associated with a risk of death that occurred in 14.2% of them (n=195), being found as causal in 43% of cases. Malignancies (OR: 5.62 [3.66 - 8.62]) and autoimmunity (OR: 1.9 [1.27 - 2.84]) were clearly identified as risk factors for lethality. Patients who underwent curative therapy (i.e. mostly allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a few cases of gene therapy or thymic transplantation) prior to the 10-year study period (n=212) had comparatively reduced but still detectable clinical manifestations (n=16) leading to death in 9.4% of them. CONCLUSION This study points to the frequency and severity of non-infectious manifestations in various PID groups across all age groups. These results warrant further prospective analysis to better assess their consequences and to adapt therapy, notably indication of curative therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) deficiency is a rare, primary immunodeficiency disease caused by XIAP gene mutations. A broad range of phenotype, severity, and age of onset present challenges for patient management. OBJECTIVE To characterize the phenotype, treatment, and survival outcomes of XIAP deficiency and assess parameters influencing prognosis. METHODS Data published from 2006-2020 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS 167 patients from 117 families with XIAP deficiency were reported with 90 different mutations. A wide spectrum of clinical features were seen, of which hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were the most common. Patients frequently developed multiple features with no clear genotype-phenotype correlation. 117 patients were managed conservatively and 50 underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with respective overall survival probabilities of 90% and 53% at age 16 years. The predominant indication for HSCT was early-onset HLH. Active HLH and myeloablative conditioning regimens increased HSCT-related mortality, although HSCT outcome was much better after 2015 than before. For conservatively managed patients reaching adulthood, survival probabilities were 86% at age 30 years and 37% by age 52 years, with worse outcomes for patients developing the disease before the age of 5 years or with new disease features in adulthood. 9 asymptomatic mutation carriers were identified with a median age of 13.5 years. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates the variable nature of XIAP deficiency which evolves over life for individual patients. Better therapeutic strategies and prospective studies are required to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve decision-making and long-term outcomes for patients with XIAP deficiency.

Abstract
Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) are rare inherited disorders arising from monogenic germline mutations in genes that regulate the immune system. The majority of IEI are Primary Immunodeficiencies characterised by severe infection often associated with autoimmunity, autoinflammation and/or malignancy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) has been the corrective treatment of choice for many IEI presenting with severe disease in early childhood and experience has made this a successful and comparatively safe treatment in affected children. Early HSCT outcomes in adults were poor, resulting in extremely limited use worldwide. This is changing due to a combination of improved IEI diagnosis to inform patient selection, better understanding of the natural history of specific IEI and improvements in transplant practice. Recently published HSCT outcomes for adults with IEI have been comparable with pediatric data, making HSCT an important option for correction of clinically severe IEI in adulthood. Here we discuss our practice for patient selection, timing of HSCT, donor selection and conditioning, peri- and post HSCT management and our approach to long term follow up. We stress the importance of multidisciplinary involvement in the complex decision-making process that we believe is required for successful outcomes in this rapidly emerging area.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Purpose Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) confers an increased risk of lymphoid neoplasms, but reports describing the precise WHO specification of the lymphoma subtypes and their immunological environment are lacking. We therefore classified lymphomas—occurring in a cohort of 21 adult CVID patients during a 17-year period at our center—according to the 2016 WHO classification and characterized the local and systemic immunological context Results The median time between the onset of CVID and lymphoma was 14 years. Patients showed a high prevalence of preceding immune dysregulation: lymphadenopathy (n = 13, 62%), splenomegaly (n = 18, 86%), autoimmune cytopenia (n = 14, 67%), and gastrointestinal involvement (n = 15, 71%). The entities comprised extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (n = 6), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (n = 7), plasmablastic lymphoma (n = 1), classic Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 4, including three cases with germline CTLA4 mutations), T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (n = 2), and peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (n = 1), but no follicular lymphoma. An Epstein-Barr virus association was documented in eight of 16 investigated lymphomas. High expression of PDL1 by tumor cells in five and of PDL1 and PD1 by tumor-infiltrating macrophages and T cells in 12 of 12 investigated lymphomas suggested a tolerogenic immunological tumor environment. Conclusion In summary, a diverse combination of specific factors like genetic background, chronic immune activation, viral trigger, and impaired immune surveillance contributes to the observed spectrum of lymphomas in CVID. In the future, targeted therapies, e.g., PD1/PDL1 inhibitors in CVID associated lymphomas with a tolerogenic environment may improve therapy outcome.

Abstract
Predominantly antibody deficiency (PAD) is the most prevalent form of primary immunodeficiency, and is characterized by broad clinical, immunological and genetic heterogeneity. Utilizing the current gold standard of whole exome sequencing for diagnosis, pathogenic gene variants are only identified in less than 20% of patients. While elucidation of the causal genes underlying PAD has provided many insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis, many other genes may remain as yet undefined to enable definitive diagnosis, prognostic monitoring and targeted therapy of patients. Considering that many patients display a relatively late onset of disease presentation in their 2nd or 3rd decade of life, it is questionable whether a single genetic lesion underlies disease in all patients. Potentially, combined effects of other gene variants and/or non-genetic factors, including specific infections can drive disease presentation. In this review, we define (1) the clinical and immunological variability of PAD, (2) consider how genetic defects identified in PAD have given insight into B-cell immunobiology, (3) address recent technological advances in genomics and the challenges associated with identifying causal variants, and (4) discuss how functional validation of variants of unknown significance could potentially be translated into increased diagnostic rates, improved prognostic monitoring and personalized medicine for PAD patients. A multidisciplinary approach will be the key to curtailing the early mortality and high morbidity rates in this immune disorder.

Abstract
Wilson and Jungner's recommendations for population-based screening have been used to guide decisions regarding candidate disease inclusion in newborn screening programs for the past 50 years. The advent of genomic-based technologies, including next-generation sequencing and its potential application to newborn screening, along with a changing landscape in terms of modern clinical practice and ethical, social, and legal considerations has led to a call for review of these criteria. Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of more than 450 genetically determined disorders of immunity, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly where diagnosis and treatment are delayed. We argue that in addition to screening for severe combined immunodeficiency disease, which has already been initiated in several countries, other clinically significant IEI should be screened for at birth. Because of disease heterogeneity and identifiable genetic targets, a next-generation sequencing-based screening approach would be most suitable. A combination of worldwide experience and technological advances has improved our ability to diagnose and effectively treat patients with IEI. Considering IEI in the context of updated recommendations for population-based screening supports their potential inclusion as disease targets in newborn screening programs.

Abstract
Background Ambiguous or atypical phenotypes can make a definite diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency diseases based on biochemical indices alone challenging. Further, mortality in early life because of infections in patients with these conditions supports the use of genetic tests to facilitate rapid and accurate diagnoses. Methods Genetic and clinical analyses of three unrelated Chinese children with clinical manifestations of recurrent infections, who were considered to have primary immunodeficiency diseases, were conducted. Patient clinical features and serum immunological indices were recorded. Next‐generation sequencing was used to screen for suspected pathogenic variants. Family co‐segregation and in silico analysis were conducted to evaluate the pathogenicity of identified variants, following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidance. Results All three patients were found to have predominant antibody defects. Sequencing analysis revealed that one had two compound heterozygous variants, c.255C>A and c.295C>T, in the autosomal gene, activation‐induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA). The other two patients were each hemizygous for the variants c.1185G>A and c.82C>T in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene on the X chromosome. In silico analysis revealed that identified substituted amino acids were highly conserved and predicted to cause structural and functional damage to the proteins. Conclusion Four pathogenic variants in AICDA and BTK were confirmed to cause different forms of hyper‐IgM syndrome type 2 (HIGM2) and X‐linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA); two were novel mutations that have never been reported previously. This is the first report of HIGM2 caused by AICDA deficiency in a patient from the Chinese mainland.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a group of rare inherited disorders of the immune system. Many PIDs are devastating and require a definitive therapy to prevent progressive morbidity and premature mortality. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is curative for many PIDs, and while advances have resulted in improved outcomes, the procedure still carries a risk of mortality and morbidity from graft failure or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Autologous haematopoietic stem cell gene therapy (HSC GT) has the potential to correct genetic defects across haematopoietic lineages without the complications of an allogeneic approach. HSC GT for PID has been in development for the last two decades and the first licensed HSC-GT product for adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) is now available. New gene editing technologies have the potential to circumvent some of the problems associated with viral gene-addition. HSC GT for PID shows great promise, but requires a unique approach for each disease and carries risks, notably insertional mutagenesis from gamma-retroviral gene addition approaches and possible off-target toxicities from gene-editing techniques. In this review, we discuss the development of HSC GT for PID and outline the current state of clinical development before discussing future developments in the field.

Abstract
With recent advances in genetic sequencing and its widespread adoption for clinical diagnostics, the identification of a primary immunodeficiency (PID) as the underlying cause of diseases presenting to hematologists including refractory autoimmunity, cytopenias, immune dysregulation, and hematologic malignancy, is increasing, particularly in the adult population. Where the pathogenic genetic variants are restricted to the hematopoietic system, selected patients may benefit from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Although it is generally accepted that early allo-HSCT (ie, in infancy or childhood) for PID is preferable, this is not always possible. The clinical phenotype of non-severe combined immune deficiency forms of PID can be very heterogeneous, in part because of the high number of genetic and functional defects affecting T, B, and natural killer cells, neutrophils, and/or antigen presentation. As a result, some patients have less severe disease manifestations in childhood and/or a later de novo presentation. For others, a delayed diagnosis, lack of a genetic diagnosis, or a previous lack of a suitable donor has precluded prior allo-HSCT. Specific issues which make transplantation for adult PID patients particularly challenging are discussed, including understanding the natural history of rare diseases and predicting outcome with conservative management alone; indications for and optimal timing of transplant; donor selection; conditioning regimens; and PID-specific transplant management. The role of gene therapy approaches as an alternative to allo-HSCT in high-risk monogenic PID is also discussed.

Abstract
Biallelic mutations in the genes encoding CD27 or its ligand CD70 underlie inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) characterized predominantly by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated immune dysregulation, such as chronic viremia, severe infectious mononucleosis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), lymphoproliferation, and malignancy. A comprehensive understanding of the natural history, immune characteristics, and transplant outcomes has remained elusive. Here, in a multi-institutional global collaboration, we collected the clinical information of 49 patients from 29 families (CD27, n = 33; CD70, n = 16), including 24 previously unreported individuals and identified a total of 16 distinct mutations in CD27, and 8 in CD70, respectively. The majority of patients (90%) were EBV+ at diagnosis, but only ∼30% presented with infectious mononucleosis. Lymphoproliferation and lymphoma were the main clinical manifestations (70% and 43%, respectively), and 9 of the CD27-deficient patients developed HLH. Twenty-one patients (43%) developed autoinflammatory features including uveitis, arthritis, and periodic fever. Detailed immunological characterization revealed aberrant generation of memory B and T cells, including a paucity of EBV-specific T cells, and impaired effector function of CD8+ T cells, thereby providing mechanistic insight into cellular defects underpinning the clinical features of disrupted CD27/CD70 signaling. Nineteen patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) prior to adulthood predominantly because of lymphoma, with 95% survival without disease recurrence. Our data highlight the marked predisposition to lymphoma of both CD27- and CD70-deficient patients. The excellent outcome after HSCT supports the timely implementation of this treatment modality particularly in patients presenting with malignant transformation to lymphoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are monogenic disorders of the immune system associated with increased susceptibility to life-threatening infection. Curative treatment has been limited to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), however toxic immunosuppression, graft failure, and graft versus host disease greatly reduce overall survival rates. Gene therapy is a targeted curative therapy that reduces these risks by utilizing autologous hematopoietic stem cells. The treatment has found significant success and is anticipated to become the standard of care in a number of PIDs. AREAS COVERED This review is a summary of the developments in gene therapy, gene editing, and current gene therapy approaches in specific PIDs. EXPERT OPINION The field of gene therapy has rapidly developed over the last three decades, with the first licensed pharmaceutical gene therapy product now available. After initial clinical trials discovered serious adverse events in the form of insertional oncogenesis, significant improvements in vector design have made the treatment a viable curative therapy. Cryopreservation has expanded the scope of gene therapy by increasing accessibility of the product to wider geographic locations. Targeted gene editing using engineered nucleases, while still in early stages of development, will further add to the repertoire of potential treatments available for PIDs.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDie septische Granulomatose (engl.: chronic granulomatous disease, CGD) ist bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit häufigen Infektionen durch bestimmte Erreger differenzialdiagnostisch zu berücksichtigen.In vorliegender Kasuistik berichten wir über eine 64-jährige Patientin mit über Jahre zunehmenden bronchopulmonalen Infektionen, teilweise durch seltene Erreger, Autoimmunphänomenen, Malignomen und im weiteren Verlauf rezidivierenden organisierenden Pneumonien (OP) mit Nachweis von Granulomen. Ursächlich wurde bei der Patientin eine septische Granulomatose, Unterform p47phox-Defizienz diagnostiziert. Ein Überleben von Patienten mit einem primären Immundefekt (PID) bis ins hohe Erwachsenenalter wird trotz wiederholter Komplikationen in Einzelfällen beobachtet, insbesondere wenn die defekte Zellstruktur eine Restaktivität aufweist. Bei rezidivierenden bronchopulmonalen Infektionen insbesondere durch bestimmte seltene Erreger und in Kombination mit organisierend-granulomatösen Lungenreaktionen sowie Autoimmunphänomenen ist auch bei älteren Erwachsenen an eine CGD zu denken. Durch eine Diagnoseverzögerung kommt es oft zu einem erheblichen Anstieg der Morbidität und Mortalität.

Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity consist of over 400 known single gene disorders that may manifest with infection susceptibility, autoimmunity, autoinflammation, hypersensitivity and cancer predisposition. Most patients are treated symptomatically with immunoglobulin replacement, prophylactic antimicrobials or broad immunosuppression pertaining to their disease phenotype. Other than haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the aforementioned treatments do little to alter disease morbidity or mortality. Further, many patients may not be transplant candidates. In this review, we describe monogenic disorders affecting leucocyte migration, disorders of immune synapse formation and dysregulation of immune cell signal transduction. We highlight the use of off-label small molecules and biologics mechanistically targeted to altered disease pathophysiology of such diseases.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is established as a curative treatment for severe chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). However, outcomes of HCT for CGD in Japan had not been precisely reported. We evaluated the outcome of HCT for CGD in Japan by means of a nationwide survey. A total of 91 patients (86 males and 5 females) with CGD who received HCT between 1992 and 2013 was investigated. Their median age at HCT was 11 years (0–39). Sixty-four patients had X-linked CGD caused by CYBB gene mutations, 13 had autosomal recessive CGD (7 CYBA and 6 NCF2), and 14 were genetically undetermined. Seventy patients are still alive at a median follow-up of 38.9 (3.7–230) months. Three-year OS and EFS was 73.7 and 67.6%, respectively. Twenty-one patients died mainly from transplant-related mortality. The cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD was 27.2 and 17.9%, respectively. Risk factors for EFS after HCT for CGD were age >30 years (P < 0.01), non-CYBB gene mutations (P < 0.01) and CBT (P < 0.01). Regarding the reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen, risk factors for EFS included anti-thymocyte globulin (P = 0.048) and not using low-dose irradiation therapy (P < 0.01), in addition to the preceding risk factors. We report outcomes of HCT for CGD in Japan. Future studies are needed to improve such outcomes, especially for patients harboring non-CYBB gene mutations and suffering from adult CGD. A RIC regimen including low-dose irradiation may be a good option to explore further.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare but serious primary immunodeficiency with varying prevalence and rates of X-linked and autosomal recessive disease worldwide. Functional defects in the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex predispose patients to a relatively narrow spectrum of bacterial and fungal infections that are sometimes fastidious and often difficult to identify. When evaluating and treating patients with CGD, it is important to consider their native country of birth, climate, and living situation, which may predispose them to types of infections that are atypical to your routine practice. In addition to recurrent and often severe infections, patients with CGD and X-linked female carriers are also susceptible to developing many non-infectious complications including tissue granuloma formation and autoimmunity. The DHR-123 oxidation assay is the gold standard for making the diagnosis and it along with genetic testing can help predict the severity and prognosis in patients with CGD. Disease management focuses on prophylaxis with antibacterial, antifungal, and immunomodulatory medications, prompt identification and treatment of acute infections, and prevention of secondary granulomatous complications. While hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only widely available curative treatment for patients with CGD, recent advances in gene therapy may provide a safer, more direct alternative.

Abstract
Modern era advancements in medical care, with improved treatment of infections, can result in delayed diagnosis of congenital immunodeficiencies. In this study we present a retrospective cohort of 16 patients diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) at adulthood. Some of the patients had a milder clinical phenotype, but others had a classic phenotype with severe infectious and inflammatory complications reflecting a profoundly impaired neutrophil function. It is therefore of great importance to investigate the individual journey of each patient through different misdiagnoses and the threads which led to the correct diagnosis. Currently the recommended definitive treatment for CGD is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although survival of our patients to adulthood might argue against the need for early HSCT during infancy, we claim that the opposite is correct, as most of them grew to be severely ill and diagnosed at a stage when HSCT is debatable with potentially an unfavorable outcome. This cohort stresses the need to increase awareness of this severe congenital immunodeficiency among clinicians of different specialties who might be treating undiagnosed adult patients with CGD.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease is a primary immunodeficiency due to a defect in one of six subunits that make up the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex. The most commonly defective protein, gp91phox , is inherited in an X-linked fashion; other defects have autosomal recessive inheritance. Bacterial and fungal infections are common presentations, although inflammatory complications are increasingly recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and are challenging to treat. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation offers cure from the disease with improved quality of life; overall survival in the current era is around 85%, with most achieving long-term cure free of medication. More recently, gene therapy is emerging as an alternative approach. Results using gammaretroviral vectors were disappointing with genotoxicity and loss of efficacy, but preliminary results using lentiviral vectors are extremely encouraging.

Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common primary immunodeficiency in adults. It is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, recurring infections and autoimmune phenomena. Treatment includes immunoglobulin substitution and immunosuppressants. Autoimmune neurological manifestations of CVID are rare and occur predominantly as granulomatous disease. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with CVID who developed autoimmune encephalitis as demonstrated by double cerebral biopsy. Infectious or malignant causes could be excluded. Despite intensive immunosuppressive therapy with common regimens no significant improvement could be achieved. Ultimately, an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was performed, resulting in lasting complete remission of the encephalitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of refractory autoimmune phenomena in CVID treated by autologous HSCT.

Abstract
Viral infections are common and are potentially life-threatening in patients with moderate to severe primary immunodeficiency disorders. Because T-cell immunity contributes to the control of many viral pathogens, adoptive immunotherapy with virus-specific T cells (VSTs) has been a logical and effective way of combating severe viral disease in immunocompromised patients in multiple phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. Common viral targets include cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and adenovirus, though recent published studies have successfully targeted additional pathogens, including HHV6, BK virus, and JC virus. Though most studies have used VSTs derived from allogenic stem cell donors, the use of banked VSTs derived from partially HLA-matched donors has shown efficacy in multicenter settings. Hence, this approach could shorten the time for patients to receive VST therapy thus improving accessibility. In this review, we discuss the usage of VSTs for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders in clinical trials, as well as future potential targets and methods to broaden the applicability of virus-directed T-cell immunotherapy for this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the main curative treatment in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is caused by inherited defects of the phagolysomal NADPH-oxidase, leading to a lifelong propensity for invasive infections and granulomatous inflammation. After successful allogeneic HSCT, chronic infections and inflammation resolve and quality-of-life improves. Favorable long-term outcome after HSCT is dependent on the prevention of primary and secondary graft failure (GF), including falling myeloid donor chimerism (DC) below 10 %, and chronic graft-vs.-host-disease (cGVHD). The risk of GF and GvHD increases with the use of HLA-incompatible donors and this may outweigh the benefits of HSCT, mainly in patients with severe co-morbidities and in asymptomatic patients with residual NADPH-oxidase function. Seventeen scientific papers have reported on a total of 386 CGD-patients treated by HSCT with HLA-matched family/sibling (MFD/MSD), 9/10-/10/10-matched-unrelated volunteer (MUD) and cord blood donors. The median OS/EFS-rate of these 17 studies was 91 and 82%, respectively. The median rates of GF, cGVHD and de-novo autoimmune diseases were 14, 10, and 12%, respectively. Results after MFD/MSD and 10/10-MUD-transplants were rather similar, but outcome in adults with significant co-morbidities and after transplants with 9/10 HLA-MUD were less successful, mainly due to increased GF and chronic GVHD. Transplantation protocols using T-cell depleted haploidentical donors with post-transplant cyclophosphamide or TCR-alpha/beta depletion have recently reported promising results. Autologous gene-therapy after lentiviral transduction of HSC achieved OS/EFS-rates of 78/67%, respectively. Careful retrospective and prospective studies are mandatory to ascertain the most effective cellular therapies in patients with CGD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established curative treatment for children with primary immunodeficiencies. This article reviews the latest developments in conditioning regimens for primary immunodeficiency (PID). It focuses on data regarding transplant outcomes according to newer reduced toxicity conditioning regimens used in HCT for PID. RECENT FINDINGS Conventional myeloablative conditioning regimens are associated with significant acute toxicities, transplant-related mortality, and late effects such as infertility. Reduced toxicity conditioning regimens have had significant positive impacts on HCT outcome, and there are now well-established strategies in children with PID. Treosulfan has emerged as a promising preparative agent. Use of a peripheral stem cell source has been shown to be associated with better donor chimerism in patients receiving reduced toxicity conditioning. Minimal conditioning regimens using monoclonal antibodies are in clinical trials with promising results thus far. Reduced toxicity conditioning has emerged as standard of care for PID and has resulted in improved transplant survival for patients with significant comorbidities.

Abstract
Background Primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) is a disorder caused by an inherited flaw in the immune system that increases the susceptibility to infections. Methods In this study, 112 children with PID were diagnosed and classified based on the 2017 criteria presented by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIC) in a single tertiary care center from January 2013 to November 2018. We retrospectively studied the clinical features of those PID children and followed-up them as well. Results It was revealed that male/female ratio was 6:1. The most frequent diagnosed PID was severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (28.6%) and hyper-IgM (HIGM) syndrome (24.1%), followed by predominantly antibody deficiencies (17.8%). Combined immunodeficiencies with associated or syndromic features (12.5%) and congenital defects of phagocyte number, function, or both (10.7%) were less common in our center compared with SCID and HIGM syndrome. Besides, we found that 20 children (17.8%) had a positive family history of PID, and almost all cases (97.3%) had a history of recurrent infection. Recurrent respiratory tract infection was among the most common symptoms, followed by the bacterial infection of the skin and mucous membranes and diarrhea. Additionally, adverse event following immunization (AEFI) was found in 20.5% of the patients, and immune disorder was commonly observed in PID patients. In the present study, 47 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and 2-year overall survival (OS) rate for these patients was 78.7% (37/47). It is noteworthy that OS widely differed among PID patients with different phenotypes who underwent allo-HSCT. The 2-year OS rate for SCID, HIGM syndrome, and the remaining of PID patients who underwent allo-HSCT was 14.3, 83.3, and 100%, respectively. Conclusions PID typically emerges at early age. Recurrent infection and serious infection were the most common clinical manifestations. Allo-HSCT is a relatively effective therapeutic strategy for PID patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the most relevant new disorders, disease entities, or disease phenotypes of primary immune deficiency disorders (PID) for the interested rheumatologist, using the new phenotypic classification by the IUIS (International Union of Immunological Societies) as practical guide. RECENT FINDINGS Newly recognized disorders of immune dysregulation with underlying mutations in genes pertaining to the function of regulatory T cells (e.g., CTLA-4, LRBA, or BACH2) are characterized by multiple autoimmune diseases-mostly autoimmune cytopenia-combined with an increased susceptibility to infections due to hypogammaglobulinemia. On the other hand, new mutations (e.g., in NF-kB1, PI3Kδ, PI3KR1, PKCδ) leading to the clinical picture of CVID (common variable immmune deficiency) have been shown to increasingly associate with autoimmune diseases. The mutual association of autoimmune diseases with PID warrants increased awareness of immunodeficiencies when diagnosing autoimmune diseases with a possible need to initiate appropriate genetic tests.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) result from inborn errors in immunity. Susceptibility to infections and oftentimes severe autoimmunity pose life-threatening risks to patients with these disorders. Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) remains the only curative option for many. Severe combined immunodeficiency disorders (SCID) most commonly present at the time of birth and typically require emergent HCT in the first few weeks of life. HCT poses an unusual challenge for PIDs. Donor source and conditioning regimen often impact the outcome of immune reconstitution after HCT in PIDs. The use of matched or unmatched, as well as related versus unrelated donor has resulted in variable outcomes for different subsets of PIDs. Additionally, there is significant variability in the success of engraftment even for a single patient’s lymphocyte subpopulations. While certain cell lines do well without a conditioning regimen, others will not reconstitute unless conditioning is used. The decision to proceed with a conditioning regimen in an already immunocompromised host is further complicated by the fact that alkylating agents should be avoided in radiosensitive PIDs. This manuscript reviews some of the unique elements of HCT in PIDs and evidence-based approaches to transplant in patients with these rare and challenging disorders.

Abstract
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a skeletal dysplasia with combined immunodeficiency, variable clinical course and increased risk of malignancy. Management of CHH is complicated by a paucity of long-term follow-up data, as well as knowledge on prognostic factors. We assessed clinical course and risk factors for mortality in a prospective cohort study of 80 patients with CHH recruited in 1985-1991 and followed up until 2016. For all patients we collected additional health information from health records and from the national Medical Databases and Cause-of-death Registry. The primary outcome was immunodeficiency-related death, including death from infections, lung disease and malignancy. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated using national mortality rates as reference. Half of the patients (57%, n = 46) manifested no symptoms of immunodeficiency during follow-up while 19% (n = 15) and 24% (n = 19) demonstrated symptoms of humoral or combined immunodeficiency, including six cases of adult-onset immunodeficiency. In a significant proportion of patients (17/79, 22%), clinical features of immunodeficiency progressed over time. Of the 15 patients with non-skin cancer, eight had no preceding clinical symptoms of immunodeficiency. Altogether 20 patients had deceased (SMR = 7.0, 95%CI = 4.3-11); most commonly from malignancy (n = 7, SMR = 10, 95%CI = 4.1-21) and lung disease (n = 4, SMR = 46, 95%CI = 9.5-130). Mortality associated with birth length below -4 standard deviation (compared to normal, SMR/SMR ratio = 5.4, 95%CI = 1.5-20), symptoms of combined immunodeficiency (compared to asymptomatic, SMR/SMR ratio = 3.9, 95%CI = 1.3-11), Hirschsprung disease (odds ratio (OR) 7.2, 95%CI = 1.04-55), pneumonia in the first year of life or recurrently in adulthood (OR = 7.6/19, 95%CI = 1.3-43/2.6-140) and autoimmunity in adulthood (OR = 39, 95%CI = 3.5-430). In conclusion, patients with CHH may develop adult-onset immunodeficiency or malignancy without preceding clinical symptoms of immune defect, warranting careful follow-up. Variable disease course and risk factors for mortality should be acknowledged.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies and immune dysregulatory disorders (PIDDs; now referred to as inborn errors in immunity) are rare disorders with a prevalence of 41. 4 or 50.5 per 100,000 persons (1). The incidence of malignancy in PIDD patents is the second-highest cause of death in children as well as adults, after infection, and is higher in certain PIDDs compared to others. We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify reports of B cell and T cell neoplasias in PIDDs and clustered them based on their classification in the IUIS schema. As would be expected, higher susceptibility to malignancies are typically reported in patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), combined immunodeficiencies affecting cellular immunity, in particular, DNA repair defects, or in the context of impaired immune regulatory control. There is not much evidence of increased risk for cancer in patients with innate immune defects, indicating that not all types of infection or genetic susceptibility predispose equally to cancer risk. Viral infections, in particular EBV, HHV and HPV, have been shown to increase susceptibility to developing cancer, but also patients with defects in immune regulation, such as Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS), activated p110delta syndrome (APDS type 1) and IL-10 receptor deficiency among others have a higher incidence of neoplastic disease, particularly lymphomas. In fact, lymphomas account for two-thirds of all malignancies reported in PIDD patients (2), with either a combined immunodeficiency or DNA repair defect predominating as the underlying immune defect in one registry, or antibody deficiencies in another (3). The vast majority of lymphomas reported in the context of PIDDs are B cell lymphomas, though T cell lymphomas have been reported in a few studies, and tend to largely be associated with chromosomal breakage disorders (4) or Cartilage Hair Hypoplasia (5). There appears to be a much higher prevalence of T cell lymphomas in patients with secondary immunodeficiencies (6), though this could reflect treatment bias. We reviewed the literature and summarized the reports of B and T cell lymphoma in PIDD patients to survey the current state of knowledge in this area.

Abstract
This is the seventh special EBMT report on the indications for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders. Our aim is to provide general guidance on transplant indications according to prevailing clinical practice in EBMT countries and centres. In order to inform patient decisions, these recommendations must be considered together with the risk of the disease, the risk of the transplant procedure and the results of non-transplant strategies. In over two decades since the first report, the EBMT indications manuscripts have incorporated changes in transplant practice coming from scientific and technical developments in the field. In this same period, the establishment of JACIE accreditation has promoted high quality and led to improved outcomes of patient and donor care and laboratory performance in transplantation and cellular therapy. An updated report with operating definitions, revised indications and an additional set of data with overall survival at 1 year and non-relapse mortality at day 100 after transplant in the commonest standard-of-care indications is presented. Additional efforts are currently underway to enable EBMT member centres to benchmark their risk-adapted outcomes as part of the Registry upgrade Project 2020 against national and/or international outcome data.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are disorders that for the most part result from mutations in genes involved in immune host defense and immunoregulation. These conditions are characterized by various combinations of recurrent infections, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, inflammatory manifestations, atopy, and malignancy. Most PID are due to genetic defects that are intrinsic to hematopoietic cells. Therefore, replacement of mutant cells by healthy donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) represents a rational therapeutic approach. Full or partial ablation of the recipient's marrow with chemotherapy is often used to allow stable engraftment of donor-derived HSCs, and serotherapy may be added to the conditioning regimen to reduce the risks of graft rejection and graft versus host disease (GVHD). Initially, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was attempted in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) as the only available curative treatment. It was a challenging procedure, associated with elevated rates of morbidity and mortality. Overtime, outcome of HSCT for PID has significantly improved due to availability of high-resolution HLA typing, increased use of alternative donors and new stem cell sources, development of less toxic, reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, and cellular engineering techniques for graft manipulation. Early identification of infants affected by SCID, prior to infectious complication, through newborn screening (NBS) programs and prompt genetic diagnosis with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques, have also ameliorated the outcome of HSCT. In addition, HSCT has been applied to treat a broader range of PID, including disorders of immune dysregulation. Yet, the broad spectrum of clinical and immunological phenotypes associated with PID makes it difficult to define a universal transplant regimen. As such, integration of knowledge between immunologists and transplant specialists is necessary for the development of innovative transplant protocols and to monitor their results during follow-up. Despite the improved outcome observed after HSCT, patients with severe forms of PID still face significant challenges of short and long-term transplant-related complications. To address this issue, novel HSCT strategies are being implemented aiming to improve both survival and long-term quality of life. This article will discuss the current status and latest developments in HSCT for PID, and present data regarding approach and outcome of HSCT in recently described PID, including disorders associated with immune dysregulation.

Abstract
The field of primary immunodeficiencies has pioneered many of the advances in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies over the last 50 years. The first patients to demonstrate sustained benefit and prolonged cure from the primary genetic defect following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation were patients with primary immunodeficiencies. Although primary immunodeficiency patients began the modern era of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the history is nevertheless short-in answer to the question "what is the long term outcome of patients transplanted for primary immunodeficiencies?" we often have to say that we do not know. We believe that most patients who undergo haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for primary immunodeficiencies should live a normal lifespan with a fully corrected immune system. We are now beginning to understanding long term outcomes, the relationship to the underlying genetic defect, age, and pre-morbid condition of the patient at time of transplantation, stem cell source and donor, and effect of pre-transplant cytoreductive chemotherapy conditioning. The long term consequences of post-transplant complications such as graft vs. host disease, veno-occlusive disease, or immune dysregulation are also being recognized. Additionally, some genetic defects have a systemic distribution, and we are learning the natural history of these defects once the immunodeficiency has been removed.
