What You Need to Know

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): We sequence your DNA to detect genetic mutations associated with hereditary
immune disorders.

Primary Immunodeficiencies

  1. Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
    Often referred to as “bubble boy disease,” this condition is characterized by a severe defect in both the T- and B-lymphocyte systems.
  2. Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
    A disorder that leads to low levels of serum immunoglobulins and an increased risk of infections.
  3. X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA)
    A condition in which boys are born without B cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies.
  4. Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
    A disorder where phagocytes (a type of white blood cell) cannot kill certain bacteria and fungi, leading to frequent infections.
  5. DiGeorge Syndrome (22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome)
    A condition caused by a deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22, leading to poor development of several body systems, including the immune system.
  6. Hyper IgM Syndrome
    A condition characterized by a deficiency in the production of certain immunoglobulins due to a defect in the CD40 ligand gene.

Autoimmune Disorders

  1. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
    A chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and brain.
  2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
    An autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and deformity.
  3. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
    An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
  4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
    A disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerves, leading to communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.
  5. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
    An autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism.
  6. Graves’ Disease
    An autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid.

Autoinflammatory Disorders

  1. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
    A hereditary inflammatory disorder that causes recurrent fevers and painful inflammation of the abdomen, lungs, and joints.
  2. Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS)
    A group of autoinflammatory diseases caused by mutations in the NLRP3 gene, leading to episodes of fever, rash, and joint pain.
  3. TRAPS (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome)
    An autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent fevers, abdominal pain, rash, and muscle pain.
  4. Blau Syndrome
    A rare genetic disorder that causes skin rash, arthritis, and uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye).
$

Secondary Immunodeficiencies

  1. HIV/AIDS
    A virus that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), leading to a progressive failure of the immune system.
  2. Malnutrition
    A lack of proper nutrition can weaken the immune system and increase susceptibility to infections.
  3. Cancer and Cancer Treatments
    Certain cancers and treatments like chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, leading to secondary immunodeficiency.
  4. Chronic Diseases
    Conditions like diabetes and chronic kidney disease can lead to weakened immune responses.
