LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Learn the current and updated classification for primary immunodeficiency
• Learn about advances in application of genetic diagnosis and precision medicine in primary immunodeficiency
• Evaluate recent experiences in the application of Quality of Life measurements for primary immunodeficiency patients
Primary Immunodeficiency
Genetic inability of the immune system to provide an advantage over the environment
• 2018: >350 diseases• Uniform newborn screening for SCID• Banner successes in gene therapy and
promise for genetic “surgery”• Mechanisms informing novel therapies for
cancer and autoimmunity (i.e. tofacitinib)• Insightful and unexpected biology• Opportunities for precision medicine

Hallmarks of Primary Immunodeficiency
• Susceptibility to the external environment• Recurrent Infection• Severe Infection• Unusual Infection
• Susceptibility to the internal environment• Cancer • Autoinflammation• Autoimmunity
Utility of the 10 Warning Signs• Hendershot, RW et al. J All Clin Immunol 2003;111:S222
• At least one warning sign in 95%• At least 2 warning signs in 78%• At least 3 in 62%• 2 or more sinus infections in 1 yr – 68%• 2 + mos. on antibiotics – 54%• Need IV antibiotics to clear infections – 46%
• Reda, et. al, Allergy Asthma Immunol Res 2013 5:88-95• Sensitivity of any one sign 100%, Specificity of 26%
• PPV 53%, NPV 100%• Two signs: sensitivity 94%, Specificity 64%• Three signs: sensitivity 77% specificity 86%

About half with autoimmune features
Specific antibody deficiency with normal Ig levels and normal B cells
Normal Reduced ability to produce antibodies to specific antigens
Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy
IgG and IgA decreased Normal ability to produce antibodies to vaccine antigens, usually not associated with significant infections (JSO Disagree)
Selective IgA deficiency Very low to absent IgA with other isotypes normal, normal subclasses and specific antibodies
Mostly asymptomatic: Bacterial infections, autoimmunity mildly increased
IgG subclass deficiency with IgA deficiency
Reduced IgA with decrease in one or more IgG subclass
Recurrent bacterial infections

Genetic diagnosis of PIDD – does it matter?
• Applies a spectrum of natural history to patients• Important anticipatory medicine to practice• Age of atypical presentations of known diseases
• Is the atypical the typical?
• Can help justify/advocate for patient benefits• Implications for undiagnosed family members• Genetic counselling • PGD
Types of genetic analyses available
• Sanger “direct” sequencing - individual genes• “next gen” - massively parallel sequencing panels• Whole exome sequencing
• Varying coverage, varying analysis,
• Whole genome sequencing • RNA seqencing• Copy number variation (also important)
• Karyotype, FISH, Chromosomal microarray (CMA, SNPchip)

CIS recommendations for genetic testing
• Clinical immunologists should be able to use genetic testing• Genetic testing provides a definitive diagnosis and should be offered
to at risk family members• Genetic counseling should be provided by an immunologist or GC• Choice of genetic test should be made by immunologist – there is no
best “first test”• Choice of test need by case-by-case• Follow up genetic or functional tests may be needed• Genetic testing is not prerequisite to initiate therapy

Disease-causing familial HLH gene mutations were present in less than 20% of subjects tested
Note: no potential digenic or polygenic single heterozygous variant combinations were statistically likely to be disease-causing

Replacement therapy is an outcome altering intervention for patients with PIDD
Chapel and Cunningham-Rundles, BJH 2009

25
Qol matters and tells us something
• Quality of life physical function social function relate to outcome in PIDD
• Tabolli, et. al 2014
QoL in US PIDD patients receiving Ig therapy
• Immune Globulin (IG) users identified in IDF database, 4,000 randomly selected as potential respondents
• Un-incentivized, 10 page IDF Treatment Survey, Medical Outcomes Study SF -12 (version 2)
• Two mailings conducted between December 2013 and February 2014 resulted in 40% response rate
• 1,266 completed both IDF and SF-12 questionnaires
8/17/19
26
US Patients with CVID receiving Ig therapy have lower QoL
Just treating CVID does not create normalcy
While treatment with Ig can be life alteringthere is there still work to do• Does the treatment itself present opportunity?• What is the “burden” of treatment
• Different from the impact of the disease itself• The “work” of being a patient on a prescribed treatment
• Examples of burdens from treatment• Financial• New physical maladies • Quality of life impairment

Conclusions
• NBS is highly effective for SCID diagnosis• Rapid and new treatment options
• Innovation in the genetic era of immune disease• Precision diagnosis can be of value• Justification for your pretest probabilbity
• Think about HLH in critically ill children and rethink the approach to diagnosis getting to correct treatment
• Complex genetics require an openness to new paradigms in the future• Precision and personalized diagnosis can equate with specific therapeutics in PID• There are challenges in diagnosing antibody deficiency – clinical judgment
matters!• Consider options in treatment to reduce burden on patients with a focus on QoL
