Inborn Errors of Immunity: A Role for Functional Testing and Flow Cytometry in Aiding Clinical Diagnosis

With the exponential discovery of new inborn errors of immunity (IEI), it is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate between a number of the more recently defined disorders. This is compounded by the fact that although IEI primarily present with immunodeficiency, the spectrum of disease is broad and often extends to features typical of autoimmunity, autoinflammation, atopic disease, and/or malignancy. Here we use case studies to discuss the laboratory and genetic tests used that ultimately led to the specific diagnoses.& COPY; 2023 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Key words: Diagnosis of inborn errors of immunity; Functional
