👏👏👏Thrilled to hear about 2025 Novel price for contributions in understanding how our marvelous immune system prevents autoimmunity. Importantly, inborn errors of immunity have been a key piece in solving this puzzle.

Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive. One of the immune system’s marvels is its…

Thank you so much and congratulations again @casanova_lab - it was a wonderful and inspiring day.

1/ We are celebrating the Novo Nordisk Prize Symposium: Inborn Errors of Immunity – a huge success yesterday at the @InstitutImagine in Paris featuring talks by 19 leading European researchers on human IEI

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…

1/ 🧬Excited to share that our study entitled Dominant negative ADA2 mutations cause ADA2 deficiency in heterozygous carriers led by @IsabelleMeyts, has been published in @JExpMed : hubs.la/Q03FRV7l0

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.
