Our colleagues reminded us about DADA-2 at the wonderfully organized NICER consortium meeting last week! What have we learnt in the last 10 years? Drs. Ehlers and Meyts elegantly described it all here! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#SCID is a rare genetic disorder where babies are born without a working immune system. Without #NewbornScreening, most infants appear healthy at birth - but infections quickly become life-threatening within the first year of life. That’s why newborn screening is critical. A…

2/ DADA2 is considered an autosomal-recessive inborn error of immunity with a broad clinical phenotype, and diagnosis is based on the combination of decreased serum ADA2 activity and the identification of biallelic deleterious alleles in the ADA2 gene 🧬🧪

3/ DADA2 carriers harbor a single pathogenic variant in ADA2 and are mostly considered healthy and asymptomatic. However, in this study we report ten patients from seven kindreds presenting with a phenotype indicative of DADA2, in whom only a single pathogenic variant was found.

4/ Therefore we investigated the effect of these and additional reported ADA2 missense variants on ADA2 protein expression, secretion and enzymatic activity.

We have Allergy positions open at CHOP. We are looking for people to join a dynamic group with a strong tradition in food allergy and a growing food challenge and oral immunotherapy program. Reach out to Kate Sullivan.

Latest from us. Universal antiviral made! How? Transient gene therapy. Which genes? Only 10 suffice, out of thousands of antiviral host genes. How did we choose? Got inspired by patients and gene promoters. Read in detail 👇🏼 science.org/doi/abs/10.112…
