Sequential Transplantation of UCBSCs and Islet Cells in Children and Adolescents With Monogenic Immunodeficiency T1DM

This study evaluates the efficacy of sequential transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cells and islet cells in children with monogenic immunodeficiency type 1 diabetes mellitus. Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation will be performed first. Children with stable immune reconstruction will than receive islet cell transplantation.

Strimvelis Registry Study to Follow-up Patients With Adenosine Deaminase Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID)

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) enzyme deficiency results in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a fatal autosomal recessive inherited immune disorder. Strimvelis (or GSK2696273) is a gene therapy intended for patients with ADA-SCID and for whom no suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related stem cell donor is available. This therapy aims to restore ADA function in hematopoietic cell lineages, and in doing so prevents the pathology caused by purine metabolites (i.e., impaired immune function). This registry evaluates the long term safety and effectiveness outcomes of subjects who have received Strimvelis (or GSK2696273).

Genetic Study of Immunodeficiency: Search for New Genetic Causes for Primary Immunodeficiencies

Individuals with suspected primary immunodeficiency will be studied and the results compared with healthy controls. Primary immunodeficiency may manifest as recurrent, severe or unusual infections as well as signs and symptoms of immune dysregulation such as autoimmunity or lymphoproliferation.
