Why this grouping
Grouped on the IUIS Table 9 pattern: immunodeficiency as a consequence of haematopoietic failure. The table exists because these disorders are not immune-pathway diseases at all — the same genome-maintenance lesion that depletes lymphocytes also depletes the other lineages and drives cancer predisposition, which changes both the surveillance a patient needs and the calculus around haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Members are kept as separate Disease entries because the specific genome-maintenance defect differs. No MONDO mapping: MONDO:0000159 (bone marrow failure syndrome) is a phenotype-defined class that does not subsume the listed member — verified 2026-08-20 with `runoak -i sqlite:obo:mondo descendants -p i MONDO:0000159`, which does not return MONDO:0013118 — so mapping to it would assert a subsumption the ontology does not carry.
Membership criteria
NECESSARY (member ⇒ criteria)
A disorder belongs to IUIS Table 9 if it is an inborn error of immunity in which the immune defect arises from failure of the haematopoietic stem and progenitor compartment, typically through a genome-maintenance, DNA-replication or telomere-biology lesion.
- HAS CLASSIFICATION
Assigned to IUIS Table 9 (bone marrow failure) via classifications.iuis_category on the member Disease entry. Stated in the keyed `<slot>:<value>` form so the audit reads the structured classifications block.

Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-like Disorder
DISEASE
Differentiating mechanismBiallelic hypomorphic RAD50 variants destabilise the MRE11-RAD50-NBN double-strand-break sensor, abolishing damage-induced MRN focus formation and impairing ATM activation. The result is checkpoint failure, radioresistant DNA synthesis and chromosomal instability, clinically phenocopying Nijmegen breakage syndrome. RAD50 is one of the three entities newly added to Table 9 in the IUIS 2024 update, and its placement there rather than in the syndromic combined-immunodeficiency table (where NBS itself sits) is the distinction this grouping turns on.

IUIS Table 9 — bone marrow failure. These inborn errors of immunity reach the
immune system from below, through failure of the haematopoietic stem and
progenitor compartment itself rather than through a lesion in a mature immune
cell or pathway. The underlying defects are typically in genome maintenance,
DNA replication or telomere biology, so the immunodeficiency arrives packaged
with cytopenias, growth failure, chromosomal instability and a substantial
risk of myelodysplasia and malignancy.

Created 2026-08-20 to give the IUIS Table 9 disorders a place in the Inborn
Errors of Immunity tree; the member already carried
`classifications.iuis_category: bone marrow failure` but was unreachable from
the umbrella grouping. Intentionally unmapped to MONDO — see
grouping_rationale. Single-member for now; the classical Table 9 entities
(Fanconi anaemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome,
severe congenital neutropenia with marrow failure) are candidates as they are
curated or assigned an iuis_category.
