Too much of a good thing: a review of primary immune regulatory disorders.

ABSTRACT: Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRDs) are inborn errors of immunity caused by a loss in the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory or immune response, leading to impaired immunological tolerance or an exuberant inflammatory response to various stimuli due to loss or gain of function mutations. Whilst PIRDs may feature susceptibility to recurrent, severe, or opportunistic infection in their phenotype, this group of syndromes has broadened the spectrum of disease caused by defects in immunity-related genes to include autoimmunity, autoinflammation, lymphoproliferation, malignancy, and allergy; increasing focus on PIRDs has thus redefined the classical 'primary immunodeficiency' as one aspect of an overarching group of inborn errors of immunity. The growing number of genetic defects a
