Understanding immune system cell defects and family patterns
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This research study investigates problems with immune system cells called phagocytes that help fight infections. Researchers will study patients with suspected immune defects and their blood relatives to better understand these conditions and develop better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a family member suspect or have been diagnosed with a phagocyte (infection-fighting cell) immune defect
- You are at least 1 month old
- You can provide consent yourself, or a legal representative can consent on your behalf if needed
- You do not have HIV or active cancer, unless the study doctor believes it won't interfere with evaluation
- If enrolling as a healthy volunteer, you must be 18–80 years old and able to consent for yourself

This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
This study screens people who may have an inherited immune system condition (like problems with immune cell growth or death) and their blood relatives. The goal is to understand the condition better by collecting blood samples for testing.
This study collects blood (and sometimes related samples) to learn how genes and the immune system work in people with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or in family members who may not have it. The goal is to improve understanding of rare immune conditions and help guide future care.
This study looks for genetic causes of immune problems, such as unusually frequent infections, abnormal allergies, or autoimmune or inflammation conditions. It may help by improving how doctors understand these disorders and by matching families with possible genetic diagnoses.
This research study investigates why some people have weak or poorly functioning immune systems. By studying you and your relatives, researchers hope to identify genetic factors that cause these conditions and eventually develop better treatments.
This study aims to better understand primary immune disorders by collecting genetic and blood (and related) information. It may help researchers identify what causes these conditions and improve future testing and care.
