Studying the causes of primary immunodeficiency disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at blood samples and genetic information from people with primary immunodeficiency (a condition where the immune system doesn't work properly), their relatives, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to learn more about what causes these disorders, which could help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a primary immunodeficiency disorder (known or suspected), are a relative of someone with one, or are a healthy volunteer.
- If you have a primary immunodeficiency, you are willing to have genetic testing and your blood samples turned into special cells for research.
- If you are a relative, you are willing to have genetic testing.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must be 18–75 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds, and not have heart, lung, or kidney disease, bleeding disorders, viral hepatitis, HIV, or be pregnant.
- You are willing to have your samples stored for future research.
- You do not have a secondary cause of immunodeficiency (like from HIV or certain medications).

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 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 creates special lab cell lines from skin (or nasal) samples from people with immune system disorders and certain family members. It’s meant to help researchers build tools to better study these conditions using patient cells.
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 collects blood and other samples to see how the immune system changes “metabolism” (how your body uses energy) in people with immune-related conditions. Your samples may also be stored for future research and could help researchers better understand immune health.
