Scientists hunt for genetic clues in rare immune disease
NCT ID NCT03427593
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 27 adults with a severe form of primary immunodeficiency, which causes frequent infections, enlarged lymph nodes, and low white blood cells. Researchers analyzed their DNA to find known and new genetic mutations linked to the condition. The goal was to better understand the biological pathways involved, which could help improve diagnosis and guide future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could identify new genes involved in severe immune disorders, pointing toward better diagnosis or future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study (27 people) that looks at genetics, not a treatment trial. It may not find new mutations or lead directly to therapies.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.
