The purpose of this study is to learn more about the changes in genes, cells and proteins that cause immune deficiency diseases.
The early stages of the study will focus on two groups of patients:
It is hoped that studies will provide guidelines for extension of the research to other patient groups. Up to 200 patients and family members will be invited to participate.
The experiments that are proposed in this portion of the study are intended to:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement of Serum immune globulin | The clinical definition of "hypogamma-globulinemia is values that are 2 SD below the mean value for the testing laboratory. For this study values that are below the lower limit of abnormal will be scored as abnormal. Chi-square analysis or Fisher's exact test will compare values between subjects with the wild type gene and the variant gene. | each year for up to 20 years |
| Antibody responses | A four-fold difference or a post-immunization titer of ≥1.3 µg/ml is scored as a true antibody response. Antibody titers and avidity indices are transformed to log2 and evaluated using the Student's T-test. | 4 weeks |
| Measurement of NK cell function | Spearman correlation will be used to compare the relationship between expression of CD207a by NK cells that are activated with K562 cells or NK cells that are activated with PMA/iono. | one time |
| DNA sequencing | When indicated, whole exome or whole genome sequencing will be done to identify genetic basis (if any) of the immune deficiency | one time |
| measurement of cellular components of the immune system | Flow cytometry will be used to identify numbers of cells of various types (e.g.,subpopulations of B-cells and T-cells) to evaluate changes in various cell populations over time. This is especially important for studies of family members who carry disease-causing or disease-associated genes but are clinically health at the time of the first study | each year for up to 20 years |
