Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI)

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are Mendelian disorders caused by germline variants in genes required for immune development, regulation, or effector function. The IUIS Expert Committee's 2024 classification — the current edition, superseding the 2022 update — describes 559 IEI across 508 genes and 17 phenocopies, of which 67 monogenic defects and 2 phenocopies are new since 2022, organized into ten phenotypic tables spanning recurrent infection, immune dysregulation, autoinflammation, complement deficiency and bone marrow failure. Each condition is individually rare, but together they are not: a recent US study put the incidence of IEI at 6 per 10,000 people.

Where this grouping sits

121 disease entries belong to this grouping through nested groupings. They appear in the coverage table below as nested members, are evaluated against the membership criteria like direct members, and count toward coverage.

Why this grouping

Grouped on the defining monogenic-immunity mechanism: every member is a germline inborn error disrupting the immune system, as recognized by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) phenotypic classification. Members are kept as separate Disease entries (and further organized into IUIS-table sub-groupings) because causal gene, inheritance, dominant clinical phenotype (infection vs dysregulation vs autoinflammation), and organ involvement differ. This grouping points down to nested IUIS-table groupings rather than listing all 500-plus entities flatly. The sub-groupings follow the IUIS table structure one-to-one, so an entity's table assignment — recorded per entry as `classifications.iuis_category` — determines exactly one sub-grouping, and the sub-groupings partition the members rather than overlapping. Note this holds for disease entities, not for genes: IUIS explicitly enters one gene in two tables when different variant classes give different phenotypes (RELA, OTULIN, NLRP1, ZAP70, IRAK4, IL6ST, STAT5B, FOXN1), so a gene-keyed query across this tree can legitimately return two sub-groupings. Somatic IEI phenocopies (IUIS Table 10), secondary immunodeficiencies (e.g., HIV/AIDS), and incidental immunodeficiency features in non-IEI syndromes are out of scope.

MONDO alignment & provenance

skos:exactMatch MONDO:0003778 · inborn error of immunity

The grouping concept is the MONDO inborn error of immunity class (MONDO:0003778). Nested IUIS-table sub-groupings are clinical unions below this umbrella; several lack a valid MONDO grouping term (see research/grouping_mondo_gaps.md and sub-grouping notes).

MONDO consistency: consistent Umbrella maps exactly to MONDO:0003778. IUIS sub-table groupings are dismech-curated unions and are not required to is-a-subsume under this term in MONDO.

A20 Haploinsufficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
A20 is the ubiquitin-editing enzyme that switches NF-kappaB off downstream of TNF, IL-1 and Toll-like receptors, so haploinsufficiency leaves the brake only half applied and NF-kappaB output chronically raised. This is the NF-kappaB arm of Table 7 in its purest form, with no inflammasome sensor and no interferon signature to explain the phenotype. Clinically it presents as early-onset orogenital ulceration, uveitis and arthralgia, and it was first described as a dominantly inherited form of Behcet disease before being recognised as an inborn error of immunity.

Activated PI3K-delta syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The only member here driven by pathway hyperactivation rather than a loss: heterozygous gain-of-function PIK3CD (APDS1) or loss-of-function PIK3R1 (APDS2) variants both hyperactivate PI3K-delta-AKT-mTOR signaling, skewing B cells toward transitional forms with reduced switched memory B cells and a hyper-IgM pattern, alongside lymphoproliferation and herpesvirus susceptibility. IUIS 2022 places both forms in Table 3 section 2 (CVID phenotype); the T-cell senescence in the same patients is why older sources read APDS as a combined immunodeficiency.

Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The prototype of the type I interferonopathy arm, and the member where the lesion is in nucleic-acid housekeeping rather than in a receptor: defective clearance or mis-sensing of cytosolic DNA and RNA species leaves an endogenous ligand permanently available to the interferon-inducing sensors. That single mechanism is reached through nine different genes, which is why this entry is a lumped series rather than a single genotype. What distinguishes it clinically from every other Table 7 member is the target organ: intracranial calcification, leukodystrophy and chronic CSF lymphocytosis that mimic congenital infection, rather than fever and serositis.

Autosomal Dominant Hyper-IgE Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Heterozygous dominant-negative STAT3 poisons the obligate STAT3 dimer, collapsing transcriptional output across the IL-6/IL-11/IL-21/IL-23 network. The immune arm (Th17 failure, cold staphylococcal abscesses, pneumatoceles, extreme IgE) is inseparable from a non-immune connective-tissue, skeletal, dental and vascular syndrome — the defining Table 2 pattern, and the anchor of the hyper-IgE subtable.

CD16 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Reported as a homozygous FCGR3A L66H substitution producing a dissociated NK cell functional defect: spontaneous (antibody-independent) cytotoxicity fails while antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity is retained, with severe herpesvirus (VZV, EBV) and papillomavirus disease. Unlike the ISGF3 members it breaks an innate effector cell's killing program, not an interferon signalling circuit - IUIS Table 6 section 3. The member entry records the gene-disease relationship as DISPUTED and L66H as of uncertain significance, because the allele sits at roughly 5% frequency with about a hundred homozygotes in gnomAD; listing the entry records the nosology's assignment, not a resolution of that question.

Chediak-Higashi Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic LYST loss disrupts the biogenesis and fusion of lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles, giving pathognomonic giant leukocyte granules. It reaches the HLH phenotype shared with the familial hemophagocytic members by a different route — organelle biogenesis rather than granule exocytosis — and pays for it outside the immune system too, with partial oculocutaneous albinism from the same LRO defect in melanocytes.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Defects in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX2) complex abolish the respiratory burst, so phagocytes are present in normal numbers but cannot kill ingested catalase-positive bacteria and fungi. The functional axis of Table 5, and the member whose second phenotype — sterile granuloma and inflammatory bowel disease — comes from failed resolution of inflammation rather than from infection.

Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic RAB27A loss removes the small GTPase that docks cytotoxic granules for regulated exocytosis in CTL and NK cells, so lymphocyte killing fails and patients present with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The same RAB27A loss untethers melanosomes in melanocytes, giving the silvery-grey hair and partial albinism that distinguish GS2 from the non-pigmentary FHL members. Unlike Chediak-Higashi, organelle biogenesis is intact — only the transport step is lost.

Hyper-IgM Syndrome Type 2 DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic AICDA loss abolishes class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation B-cell-intrinsically: an IgM-only repertoire with massive germinal-center hyperplasia. Unlike the CD40LG/CD40 hyper-IgM defects that IUIS places in Table 1, T-cell licensing of macrophages is intact, so there is no opportunistic-infection susceptibility — the contrast that keeps this entity among the antibody deficiencies.

Biallelic loss of STAT2, a required subunit of the ISGF3 transcription factor (STAT1-STAT2-IRF9) downstream of the type I (and type III) interferon receptors. ISGF3-dependent induction of antiviral interferon-stimulated genes collapses, producing severe viral illness including disseminated disease after live attenuated viral vaccines (vaccine-strain measles) - IUIS Table 6 section 3 (predisposition to severe viral infection).

Heterozygous gain-of-function STAT6 amplifies IL-4/IL-13 type-2 signaling, producing early-onset severe allergic dysregulation with extreme IgE — a hyper-IgE-like syndromic presentation that IUIS groups with dominant-negative STAT3 rather than with the Table 4 dysregulation disorders. The only member here whose defining lesion is excess rather than loss of cytokine signal transduction, and one of the ten Table 2 entities newly recognized in the IUIS 2024 update.

The grouping's immuno-osseous member alongside cartilage-hair hypoplasia, reached through genome maintenance rather than ribonucleoprotein biology.

The most common primary antibody deficiency and the only member with no monogenic cause: a polygenic, HLA-associated failure of terminal IgA plasma-cell differentiation with normal IgG and IgM and normal B-cell counts. The majority of affected individuals are asymptomatic — the opposite pole of Table 3 from the agammaglobulinemias — with mucosal-infection, celiac, autoimmune, and anti-IgA transfusion-reaction risks in the symptomatic minority.

X-linked CD40LG loss disables CD40 engagement on B cells and myeloid cells: immunoglobulin class switching fails (normal-to-high IgM, absent IgG/IgA/IgE) and T-cell licensing of macrophages is lost, giving opportunistic infections (Pneumocystis, Cryptosporidium) despite normal lymphocyte counts — the myeloid-licensing arm is why IUIS places it in Table 1 rather than among antibody deficiencies.

X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disease Due To SH2D1A Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Loss of the SAP adaptor switches SLAM-family receptors from activating to inhibitory signalling, so 2B4 on NK cells and EBV-specific CD8 cytotoxicity both fail and iNKT cells never develop. The EBV-susceptibility arm of the table in its purest form: the trigger is a specific pathogen rather than a constitutive lesion, and the consequences — fulminant infectious mononucleosis with HLH, dysgammaglobulinemia, and B-cell lymphoma — follow from the inability to control it. Distinguished from its XIAP sibling by the lymphoma risk.

X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disease Due To XIAP Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
XIAP loss removes both a caspase brake and the ubiquitin scaffold NOD2 signalling depends on, so lymphocytes die on activation while NOD2 responses in gut epithelium and monocytes fail. The result is HLH that does not require EBV, refractory Crohn-like colitis, and inflammasome dysregulation with elevated IL-18. The key negative separates it from the SAP sibling sharing its clinical name: lymphoma is not part of this disease.

The ALPS concept itself, curated as a thin root over the Fas-pathway subtypes (ALPS-FAS, ALPS-sFAS, ALPS-FASLG, ALPS-CASP10, ALPS-U) that the 2009 NIH revision retained. It is listed alongside, not instead of, the gene-specific `FAS-related Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome` entry: this entry carries the genotype classification axis and the shared apoptosis-defect chain, that one carries the FAS-specific pathophysiology, diagnostics and management. IUIS likewise enumerates FAS, FASLG and CASP10 as separate Table 4 gene entries under one clinical syndrome.

The autosomal 10-15% of congenital agammaglobulinemia — the same pre-B developmental block as XLA reached without touching BTK, by biallelic loss of pre-BCR structural components (IGHM, IGLL1) or of its proximal signalling module (CD79A, CD79B, BLNK). Mechanistically it is the demonstration that the Table 3 phenotype tracks pre-BCR assembly and signalling rather than any one gene.

Biallelic variants in RMRP, a non-coding RNA rather than a protein, disable the RNase MRP endoribonuclease. One RNA-folding lesion reaches four organ systems at once (pre-rRNA processing, cyclin B2 mRNA cleavage, TERT partnering, small-RNA silencing), giving the immuno-osseous Table 2 pattern: metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and hypoplastic hair alongside combined immunodeficiency, anemia and a marked lymphoma excess.

Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Not one gene's disease but a convergent phenotype: every established etiology lies somewhere on the IL-17 circuit — the cytokine (IL17F), its receptor chains (IL17RA, IL17RC), the receptor-proximal adaptor (ACT1/TRAF3IP2), the Th17 master transcription factor (RORC), or STAT1 gain of function repressing Th17 development. The clearest demonstration of the Table 6 logic that one circuit guards one pathogen class, here Candida at skin and mucosa.

Complement Component 2 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic loss of C2, most often the 28-bp exon 6 splice-boundary deletion, leaves C4b with no partner and so prevents assembly of the classical-pathway C3 convertase C4b2a. The lectin pathway converges on that same convertase, so it fails too; only the alternative pathway is intact, and the lesion is not one of lytic failure but of impaired opsonisation and of poor clearance of immune complexes and apoptotic debris. That gives the early-classical arm its characteristic pairing, absent in the terminal arm: pyogenic infection with encapsulated organisms, Streptococcus pneumoniae rather than Neisseria, alongside lupus-like autoimmunity in roughly a quarter of homozygotes.

Complement Component 3 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The convergence point of the cascade, and the only member whose lesion disables all three activation pathways at once. Biallelic C3 loss leaves no C3b to opsonise, no alternative-pathway amplification loop, and no C3b-containing C5 convertase. It therefore combines the phenotypes of the arms on either side: severe pyogenic infection with pneumococci, Haemophilus and meningococci, as in the early classical arm but without an intact alternative pathway to compensate, together with immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and SLE-like disease, each reported in roughly a quarter of patients.

Immunodeficiency Due To MASP-2 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The second lectin-pathway member, and the one whose lesion is in the enzyme rather than in a recognition molecule. MASP-2 is the only protease that cleaves C4, so homozygosity for MASP2 p.D120G - which abolishes binding to mannose-binding lectin - removes lectin-pathway activity by every route, where ficolin-3 deficiency removes one of several routes into it. That makes this member the sharper test of the grouping's organising claim, and it fails it in the same direction. A complete, non-redundant block of the arm produces no consistent phenotype: the published homozygotes split roughly evenly into affected individuals with no shared presentation and healthy controls, and a targeted study found none among 1495 adults with community-acquired pneumonia or 186 patients with lupus. So the lectin arm's position in the cascade predicts no phenotype even when the block is total, which is a stronger form of the qualification recorded in the `complement_table8_lectin_arm_qualifies_the_claim` discussion than ficolin-3 deficiency alone supplies.

Late Complement Component Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic loss of any terminal component (C5, C6, C7, C8, C9) prevents assembly of the membrane attack complex C5b-9 and so abolishes direct serum bactericidal activity. Because Neisseria are killed principally by MAC lysis rather than by opsonophagocytosis, the deficiency produces an almost pathognomonic susceptibility to recurrent invasive meningococcal and disseminated gonococcal disease with otherwise unremarkable immunity — the terminal-pathway arm of Table 8.

Ficolin 3 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The lectin-pathway arm, and the only member whose lesion is in a recognition molecule rather than in the cascade it triggers. Homozygosity for the FCN3 +1637delC frameshift leaves no detectable serum ficolin-3 and no ficolin-3-dependent complement activation. Because mannose-binding lectin and the ficolin-2 arm still initiate the same pathway, the block is partial in a way the other members' are not: C2 deficiency removes a convertase subunit that both the classical and lectin pathways converge on, and terminal deficiency removes the lytic machinery outright, whereas losing one of several redundant recognition molecules leaves the pathway reachable by other routes. That redundancy is why this member's phenotype is contested rather than characteristic, and so why it bounds this grouping's organising claim instead of illustrating it. The argument is recorded in the `complement_table8_lectin_arm_qualifies_the_claim` discussion rather than duplicated here.

Biallelic loss of either IL-10 receptor chain (IL10RA or IL10RB) abolishes the IL-10 anti-inflammatory brake on myeloid cells, producing severe infantile-onset enterocolitis with perianal fistulas that is refractory to conventional immunosuppression. It anchors the "immune dysregulation with colitis" arm of Table 4: the lesion is loss of a restraining cytokine circuit in the gut rather than lymphoproliferation or a cytotoxicity defect, and it is curable by allogeneic HSCT.

Heterozygous germline JAK1 gain-of-function variants (the row IUIS names "JAK1 GOF") drive hyperactive baseline and cytokine-induced STAT phosphorylation, producing severe early-onset atopy, eosinophilia, eosinophilic enteritis and autoimmunity. It is the constitutively active kinase counterpart of SOCS1 haploinsufficiency's lost brake on the same pathway, and it is directly treatable with JAK inhibitors.

Barth syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Defective tafazzin-mediated cardiolipin remodeling destabilizes the mitochondrial inner membrane, and the neutrophil is one of the tissues that fails. The member that reaches Table 5 through bioenergetics: the IUIS affected-function cell reads "mitochondrial function", not a phagocyte-specific process. Scope note — neutropenia is one feature of a cardiomyopathy-led mitochondrial disorder, and the entry binds the current HGNC symbol TAFAZZIN where the source prints the legacy TAZ.

Blau Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Gain-of-function variants in the NOD2 nucleotide-binding domain drive constitutive NF-kappaB signalling from a cytosolic NOD-like receptor that, unlike NLRP3 and NLRP1, does not nucleate an inflammasome. The output is organised granuloma rather than an IL-1beta fever: the triad is granulomatous dermatitis, boggy synovitis with camptodactyly, and uveitis. This is also the member that has to be held apart from a common polygenic disease, since the NOD2 variants that raise Crohn disease risk are loss-of-function and sit in a different part of the protein.

Cohen Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Loss of the VPS13B bulk lipid-transport protein impairs Golgi membrane expansion and Golgi-dependent glycosylation and secretion, and a mild-to-moderate neutropenia is present in almost all affected individuals. The member with the weakest mechanistic link between the causal lesion and the phagocyte phenotype — the route from VPS13B loss to the neutropenia is not established — held here on the strength of the IUIS row (affected function: myeloid differentiation) rather than on a curated mechanism. Scope note — otherwise curated as an intellectual-disability syndrome.

DEF6 Deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The third route to CTLA-4 insufficiency in this grouping, and the one furthest from the receptor itself. Biallelic loss of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DEF6 leaves RAB11-dependent vesicular delivery of CTLA-4 to the T-cell surface unable to proceed, so regulatory T cells hold a normal CTLA-4 protein pool they cannot mobilise. Where CTLA4 haploinsufficiency removes half the protein and LRBA deficiency fails to recycle it away from lysosomal degradation, this lesion blocks the outbound trafficking step. All three converge on too little surface CTLA-4 and all three respond to abatacept, which is why the trafficking machinery and the receptor sit in one grouping.

Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase 2 DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The only member whose defective product is a secreted enzyme rather than an intracellular sensor, adaptor or signalling node. Loss of extracellular adenosine deaminase activity, and of the growth-factor function of the same protein, skews monocytes toward a proinflammatory phenotype and destabilises endothelium, so the disease presents as medium-vessel vasculitis: livedo racemosa, early-onset lacunar and haemorrhagic stroke, and a polyarteritis-nodosa-like picture. It is also the Table 7 member most clearly separated by treatment, answering to TNF blockade rather than IL-1 blockade, and it can add hypogammaglobulinaemia and marrow failure that overlap the antibody-deficiency and bone-marrow-failure tables.

Dyskeratosis Congenita DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Impaired telomere maintenance, so telomeres shorten below the length that sustains self-renewal and the stem and progenitor compartment exhausts. IUIS Table 9 enters the disease as fourteen gene rows sharing one subcategory cell, DKCX1 through DKCB7, spanning the telomerase RNP (DKC1, TERC, TERT, NOP10, NHP2, WRAP53), the shelterin complex (TINF2, ACD), the helicase RTEL1 and the deadenylase PARN. DKC1 is bound here as the X-linked founding locus. The separator from Fanconi anemia is that nothing is wrong with the repair of a lesion; the defect is in the maintenance of a structure, which is why the phenotype is a replicative-exhaustion one and includes pulmonary and hepatic fibrosis rather than chromosomal breakage.

EFL1-related Shwachman-Diamond syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The EFL1-defined molecular subtype of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, curated separately because the lesion is in the GTPase partner rather than in SBDS itself: biallelic EFL1 variants impair EIF6 eviction during late 60S maturation directly, reaching the same node from the other side of the same complex. Scope note — this member and the Shwachman-Diamond syndrome member deliberately split the four Table 5 rows printed under the Shwachman-Diamond label; this entry claims the EFL1 row only.

FADD-Related Immunodeficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic FADD loss disables the adaptor that nucleates the FAS death-inducing signalling complex, so patients carry the ALPS biomarker profile (impaired Fas-dependent apoptosis, expanded double-negative T cells) and IUIS files it in the ALPS section. It differs from the other ALPS members in its Fas-independent features — recurrent febrile encephalopathic crises, hepatopathy, cardiac malformations and functional hyposplenism with invasive bacterial infection — without the florid lymphoproliferation of ALPS-FAS.

T-cell Immunodeficiency, Congenital Alopecia, and Nail Dystrophy DISEASE

Human nude SCID: biallelic FOXN1 loss prevents thymic epithelial cell differentiation, so no functional thymic microenvironment forms and athymia abolishes thymopoiesis. The same transcription factor acts in terminally differentiating skin epithelium, adding congenital alopecia and nail dystrophy — a two-organ lesion from one epithelial transcription factor, with the profoundest T-cell deficit in the grouping.

Fanconi_Anemia DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic defects in the FA/BRCA interstrand-crosslink repair pathway, so the replication fork cannot resolve a crosslink and the cell accumulates chromosomal breaks and radial figures. Fanconi anemia is the largest single block in IUIS Table 9: twenty-two rows, one per complementation group, Types A through W, each with its own gene and OMIM number. FANCA is bound here as the commonest of those loci, not as the disease's only gene. What separates it from the other members of this grouping is that the initiating lesion is crosslink repair rather than telomere maintenance, transcription-coupled repair or a haematopoietic transcription factor, and that the marrow failure arrives packaged with the congenital anomaly pattern the table's associated-features cell lists.

The quantitative axis of Table 5, and the member that shows a housekeeping enzymopathy reaching the immune system through a cell-type-specific metabolic vulnerability.

H Syndrome DISEASE

Loss of the equilibrative nucleoside transporter hENT3 disables nucleoside efflux from lysosomes and mitochondria in myeloid cells, and the resulting inflammation arrives as tissue histiocytic infiltration rather than as a circulating cytokine fever. That makes it the Table 7 member whose lesion is a transporter and whose read-out is a histiocytosis, with cutaneous hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis and induration as the defining signs. SLC29A3 is allelic across a spectrum that also includes pigmented hypertrichotic dermatosis with insulin-dependent diabetes and Faisalabad histiocytosis, which IUIS records in the same row.

Differentiating mechanism
Only the AP-3 subtypes — HPS-2 (AP3B1) and HPS-10 (AP3D1) — are IUIS Table 4 members: the AP-3 adaptor complex sorts cargo into lysosome-related organelles including cytotoxic granules, so its loss adds neutropenia and impaired CTL/NK cytotoxicity with HLH risk to the oculocutaneous albinism and bleeding diathesis shared by all HPS subtypes. The BLOC-complex subtypes (HPS-1/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/11) share the pigmentary and platelet phenotype but are not inborn errors of immunity.

Heterozygous mutations in TGF-beta signaling components (most commonly TGFBR1/TGFBR2) cause the connective-tissue triad of arterial tortuosity and aneurysms, hypertelorism, and bifid uvula or cleft palate. Its immune arm is allergic dysregulation — food allergy and eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease — making it the vasculopathy-dominant member whose Table 2 listing rests on TGF-beta-driven immune skewing rather than lymphopenia.

MHC class II deficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic loss of any of four MHC-II transactivation factors (CIITA, RFXANK, RFX5, RFXAP — complementation groups A-D) abolishes HLA class II expression on antigen-presenting cells, collapsing CD4+ T-cell selection and help; combined cellular and humoral deficiency with normal lymphocyte counts, distinguishing it from the cytopenic Table 1 members.

Muckle-Wells Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The intermediate rung of the NLRP3 spectrum, sharing its gain-of-function inflammasome mechanism with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and CINCA. It is distinguished from the former by attacks that are not cold-triggered and from the latter by the absence of neonatal central nervous system and epiphyseal disease. Its own defining late complications are progressive sensorineural hearing loss and AA amyloidosis, which is what makes early IL-1 blockade a disease-modifying rather than purely symptomatic treatment here.

Neutrophil Immunodeficiency Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The dominant-negative RAC2 p.Asp57Asn allele disables a single haematopoietic Rho-GTPase branch point that controls two effector arms at once — NOX2 assembly and chemoattractant-driven actin polymerization — so one allele breaks both killing and getting there. The member that sits on both axes of the table simultaneously, and the one where the IUIS classification itself splits on OMIM number rather than disease name: this is the AD LOF arm (MIM 608203, Table 5), not the AD GOF arm (Table 1) or the AR arm (Table 3), which share MIM 602049.

Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-like Disorder DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic 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.

Papillon-Lefevre Disease DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic cathepsin C loss leaves the three neutrophil serine proteases never activated and, in mature neutrophils, absent altogether. The member that bounds what a Table 5 assignment claims: patients are not broadly immunocompromised, their neutrophils kill bacteria in vitro about as well as controls, and the IUIS affected-function cell is narrow (chemotaxis only). The disease is a tissue-selective failure of oxygen-independent defence in the anaerobic periodontal pocket rather than a systemic phagocyte failure.

Revesz Syndrome DISEASE

Heterozygous TINF2 variants in a nine-residue window of exon 6 produce the severe infantile end of the telomere biology spectrum. It is listed in IUIS Table 9 as the DKCA5 row within the dyskeratosis congenita block, identified by OMIM 268130. It is kept as a separate member rather than folded into Dyskeratosis Congenita because the tissues that fail differ: bilateral exudative retinopathy and intracranial calcification with cerebellar hypoplasia sit alongside the marrow failure, and neither limb exists in the Dyskeratosis Congenita pathograph. Upstream the mechanism is the same shelterin lesion, so this member and Dyskeratosis Congenita are a severity and tissue-distribution split, not a mechanistic one.

STING-Associated Vasculopathy with Onset in Infancy DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The gain of function is in the sensing adaptor itself: mutant STING adopts an active conformation and signals without ligand, so interferon induction no longer requires any accumulated nucleic acid. That makes SAVI the direct counterpart of COPA syndrome, which reaches the same STING node from the opposite direction by failing to retrieve it from the Golgi. What distinguishes SAVI clinically is the acral small-vessel vasculopathy, which can progress to ulceration and tissue loss, combined with early-onset interstitial lung disease.

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
A ribosomopathy reaching the phagocyte compartment through translation rather than through any immune-specific pathway: loss of SBDS uncouples EFL1 GTP hydrolysis from eIF6 release, blocking 80S assembly, and the granulopoietic compartment is one of the three tissues that tolerates the resulting global translation deficit least well. The member that shows Table 5 admitting a bone-marrow-failure syndrome on the strength of its neutropenia, and the only member covering several Table 5 rows at once (SBDS, DNAJC21 and SRP54; the EFL1 row is carried by the sibling entry below).

TNF Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Cysteine-disrupting TNFRSF1A variants cause the 55-kD TNF receptor to misfold and be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum instead of reaching the surface and being shed, so the primary lesion is protein folding and trafficking rather than inflammasome or interferon signalling. IUIS places it accordingly in the non-inflammasome section, even though the resulting phenotype is a periodic fever indistinguishable at first glance from the inflammasome members. Attack duration is the most useful bedside discriminator: episodes typically run one to three weeks rather than days, with migratory myalgia under an overlying rash and periorbital oedema.

The result is early-onset multisystemic autoimmunity with cytopenias and incomplete penetrance — a dosage-sensitive restraint defect rather than a receptor or cytotoxicity lesion, and one of the seven new Table 4 genes in the 2022 update.

DNASE2 Deficiency DISEASE

The type I interferonopathy arm reached through a lysosomal nuclease rather than a cytosolic one: DNase II cannot digest the DNA of engulfed apoptotic cells and expelled erythroblast nuclei, so undegraded self DNA engages cGAS-STING. It is distinguished among the interferonopathy members by its neonatal haematologic onset, severe transfusion-dependent anemia, thrombocytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly from birth, which reflect DNase II's non-redundant role in definitive erythropoiesis, before the later membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, liver fibrosis and deforming arthropathy.

Autosomal Dominant Aplasia and Myelodysplasia DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Heterozygous germline SRP72 variants, entered in IUIS Table 9 as BMFS1. The lesion is in the signal recognition particle, so the failing process is co-translational targeting of nascent secretory and membrane proteins rather than any form of genome maintenance. That makes it the mechanistic outlier among this grouping's members, and the table's associated-features cell carries the matching clinical oddity, congenital nerve deafness beside the marrow failure. The lymphocyte columns are recorded as NA, so the IEI status rests on stem and progenitor failure alone.

Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis 1 DISEASE

Biallelic loss of function of TCIRG1, encoding the osteoclast-specific a3 subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase, leaves osteoclasts unable to acidify the resorption lacuna. Where the other members lose a cytokine circuit or a lymphocyte lineage, this one loses an osteoclast-intrinsic effector function with no lymphocyte or cytokine-signalling defect at all — the narrowest possible reading of "intrinsic" in this table's name, restricted to a single non-hematopoietic tissue (bone) rather than a pathogen class.

Cherubism is the one Table 7 member whose inflammation is anatomically confined: symmetric osteolytic giant-cell lesions of the mandible and maxilla, with no fever, no serositis and no systemic acute-phase response. It is also the only one that characteristically regresses after puberty, so the natural history rather than the cytokine profile is what sets it apart from its siblings.

The member whose phagocyte defect is a transcription-factor dosage problem, and the one where the phagocyte lesion is inseparable from a malignancy risk. Scope note — IUIS names this row generically as "GATA2 deficiency"; this entry is the Emberger presentation (lymphedema is named in the row's own associated-features cell), and MonoMAC/DCML deficiency (MONDO:0013607) will share the same row when curated.

Familial Mediterranean Fever DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The archetypal inflammasome member, but built on pyrin rather than NLRP3: recessive loss-of-function MEFV variants remove the autoinhibition that normally keeps the pyrin inflammasome silent. Because pyrin is regulated through RhoA and the microtubule cytoskeleton, this is the member defined by colchicine responsiveness, which no other Table 7 disorder shares. Attacks are short, typically one to three days of fever with serositis, and the untreated long-term risk that distinguishes it is AA amyloidosis.

The mildest end of the NLRP3 cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome spectrum, and the only member with an external physical trigger: attacks follow generalised cold exposure within about two hours, rather than arising unprovoked. Its mechanism is shared with Muckle-Wells syndrome and CINCA, so what separates the three is threshold and target tissue rather than pathway. The entry also carries the genetically distinct cold-urticarial and inflammasome-adjacent disorders caused by NLRP12, PLCG2 and NLRP1, which reach a similar phenotype through separate circuits.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type I DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Loss of the SLC37A4 glucose-6-phosphate transporter leaves neutrophils unable to maintain energy homeostasis, and accumulating 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate drives ER stress and apoptosis — the same metabolite-repair logic as the G6PC3 member, reached through the transporter rather than the catalytic subunit, which makes the two the clearest mechanistic pair in the grouping. Scope note — only the GSD Ib subtype is the IUIS Table 5 row; this is a combined Ia+Ib entry and the Ia subtype explicitly has no neutropenia. iuis_category is single-valued and cannot be scoped to a subtype, so the restriction lives in that entry's notes.

Hereditary Angioedema DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The regulatory arm, and the one member whose lesion is disinhibition rather than deficiency of effector function. Heterozygous SERPING1 variants reduce functional C1 inhibitor well below the 50% haploinsufficiency predicts — increased catabolism, and trans-inhibition of the wild-type allele by some mutants, typically leave 5-30% of normal activity, which is why a heterozygous serpin defect causes disease at all. C1 inhibitor is the serpin that restrains C1r/C1s and MASP1/MASP2 in the complement cascade and factor XIIa and plasma kallikrein in the contact system. Complement consumption shows up as the low C4 used diagnostically, but the attacks themselves are bradykinin-driven, so the phenotype is recurrent non-urticarial subcutaneous, abdominal and laryngeal edema rather than infection or autoimmunity. Note the scope caveat recorded on that entry's `iuis_category`: only its SERPING1 subtypes are IUIS Table 8 disease, not its normal-C1-INH arm.

Hereditary Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic loss of a GM-CSF receptor subunit prevents alveolar macrophage maturation, so surfactant and cholesterol are never cleared and proteinaceous material fills the alveoli. The member that makes the point that "phagocyte" in this table is a compartment and not a cell type: the failing phagocyte is the tissue macrophage, the lesion is in a cytokine receptor rather than in a killing or motility machine, and the clinical presentation is respiratory rather than infectious. Covers both Table 5 rows of the pulmonary alveolar proteinosis pair, CSF2RA and CSF2RB.

Autosomal dominant haploinsufficiency for the transcriptional repressor BACH2 impairs regulatory T-cell differentiation, placing it with the Tregopathy members rather than the cytotoxic-granule or apoptosis members. What distinguishes it inside that subcategory is that the same lesion also hits the B-cell arm: BACH2 is a lineage specification factor for both compartments, so a single dosage defect yields lymphocytic colitis and progressive T-cell lymphopenia alongside impaired memory B-cell development and sinopulmonary infection.

The purely adaptive CD8+ and CD4+ TH1-star cells that remain make IFN-gamma normally and do not compensate, which is the entry's demonstration that these innate and innate-like compartments are non-redundant for anti-mycobacterial immunity in humans.

Biallelic ITGB2 loss prevents assembly of the beta-2 integrin heterodimers (LFA-1, Mac-1, p150,95), so neutrophils cannot convert rolling into firm adhesion and never transmigrate. The adhesion arm of the table, and the sibling of LAD2's trafficking lesion: both produce tissue neutropenia alongside blood neutrophilia, but here the receptor itself is absent rather than its ligand unfucosylated.

Differentiating mechanism
The only member that is simultaneously an inborn error of metabolism: biallelic MVK loss of function blocks the isoprenoid branch immediately downstream of mevalonate, and the resulting shortage of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate leaves RhoA unprenylated, which releases pyrin. It therefore converges on the same pyrin inflammasome as familial Mediterranean fever while starting from a metabolic rather than an immune lesion, and IUIS itself records the link from the block to the inflammation as not fully resolved. Residual enzyme activity sets the phenotype on a continuous scale from hyper-IgD syndrome to mevalonic aciduria with neurological involvement, which none of the other members show.

An inborn error of the purine salvage pathway: without PNP, deoxyguanosine accumulates and is phosphorylated to dGTP, a substrate-toxicity chain that falls preferentially on T cells. The only classical metabolic-enzyme member here, coupling a T-cell-predominant combined immunodeficiency to neurological disease and autoimmunity.

Radioulnar Synostosis with Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Heterozygous MECOM variants, entered in IUIS Table 9 as MECOM deficiency and recorded in the table's own footnote as the single new inborn error of immunity added to Table 9 in the 2022 update. MECOM is a haematopoietic transcription factor, so unlike every other member here the lesion is in the transcriptional programme that maintains the stem cell rather than in a genome-maintenance or telomere pathway. It is also the only member whose immune arm is a named B-cell deficiency in the table's own B-cell column, and the only one carrying a skeletal malformation, radioulnar synostosis, that is a fusion rather than a reduction defect.

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The severe end of IUIS Table 1: profound failure of T-lymphocyte development that abrogates adaptive immunity from birth, reached by three mechanistically distinct routes — defective common-gamma-chain cytokine receptor signaling (IL2RG, JAK3, IL7R), failed V(D)J recombination or DNA double-strand-break repair (RAG1, RAG2, DCLRE1C/Artemis), and purine-salvage metabolite toxicity (ADA). Unlike the gene-specific Table 1 members alongside it, this entry is curated as the SCID concept itself, with the causal genes carried as subtypes.

Severe Congenital Neutropenia 1, Autosomal Dominant DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Heterozygous ELANE missense variants produce a misfolded neutrophil elastase that triggers the unfolded protein response in granulocytic precursors, killing them at the promyelocyte stage. The defect of phagocyte *number* rather than function, and the archetype of the table's neutropenia arm: marrow arrest rather than a mature cell that cannot act. Uniquely among the members here it carries a defined leukemic route — somatic CSF3R truncation under long-term G-CSF — and the same gene's other allelic disease, cyclic neutropenia, is merged into this IUIS row.

Spondyloenchondrodysplasia DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
The only member that is both an interferonopathy and a skeletal dysplasia, because one enzyme serves both roles. Loss of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase leaves osteopontin phosphorylated, which drives type I interferon through plasmacytoid dendritic cells, while the same enzyme loss disturbs the vertebral and metaphyseal growth plates and produces platyspondyly with enchondroma-like lesions. Clinically it adds prominent lupus-like autoimmunity and spastic paraparesis, so it sits at the intersection of the interferon arm and the bone nosology rather than cleanly inside either.

Open questions & knowledge gaps

Curated open questions about this grouping's boundary, coverage, or evidence. These record what is not settled, so they are claims about the curation rather than about the biology unless the rationale says otherwise.

KNOWLEDGE GAP iei_tree_coverage_against_iuis_2024
What fraction of the IUIS catalogue does this tree actually represent, and is the sample it holds representative or biased?
As of 2026-08-20 the tree reaches 36 curated Disease entries against the IUIS 2024 catalogue of 508 genes and 17 phenocopies — roughly 7%. That in itself is expected for a mechanism knowledge base that curates in depth rather than enumerating. What matters for anyone querying the tree is that the coverage is uneven in a way the member counts make visible: Tables 2 and 4 hold ten and nine entries respectively, while Tables 8 and 9 hold one each and Table 10 (phenocopies) is out of scope by design. A query that treats this grouping as a sample of IEI will therefore over-weight syndromic combined immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation and under-weight complement and marrow failure. The gap is curation coverage, not a scientific uncertainty, but it should not be inferred from the tree's structure alone.

Proposed experiments

  • Census KB IEI coverage against the IUIS 2024 per-table counts — For each of the nine in-scope IUIS tables, compare the count of kb/disorders/ entries carrying the matching `classifications.iuis_category` against the published per-table entity count (Table 1, 73; Table 2, 83; Table 3, 48; Table 4, 72; Table 5, 45; Table 6, 86; Table 7, 69; Table 8, 36; Table 9, 47) and publish the per-table coverage ratio. This turns the sampling bias above into a number a consumer of the grouping can read, and gives curation a table-level priority ordering rather than a flat backlog.
KNOWLEDGE GAP iuis_category_backfill_candidates
Which further kb/disorders/ entries belong in an IUIS table, and what evidence fixes the assignment for a disease that is mechanistically an obvious IEI but whose table placement has never been curated?
Several entries carry an unmistakable IEI phenotype but no `classifications.iuis_category`, so the sub-groupings' NECESSARY criteria cannot be evaluated for them and they cannot be listed without asserting a table placement the entry does not itself record. Identified 2026-08-20: STAT2 Deficiency (a break in type I interferon signal transduction, giving the Table 6 signature of susceptibility restricted to viral disease); Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome and Ataxia Telangiectasia (Table 2); and Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome and Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Syndrome (Table 7). The general problem is that table assignment is curated per Disease entry while grouping membership is curated on the grouping, so an entry can be mechanistically obvious and still structurally invisible to the audit. The gap is bookkeeping rather than biology, but leaving it implicit is what let five IUIS tables go unrepresented in this tree until 2026-08-20. Hosted on the umbrella rather than on any one sub-grouping because the candidates span Tables 2, 6 and 7. Updated 2026-09-17: Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, Ataxia Telangiectasia, Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome and Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Syndrome now all carry `classifications.iuis_category` and are resolved from this list. STAT2 Deficiency remains open — PR #11810 classifies it but has not yet merged to `main`; re-check once it lands. Two further calls, raised by #11879's review of #11810, are recorded here as **non-assignment** decisions rather than open candidates, so the reasoning is not re-derived from scratch: - **Osteopetrosis** (the umbrella entry) is deliberately left unclassified. All seven IUIS Table 6 osteopetrosis rows (CLCN7, SNX10, OSTM1, PLEKHM1, TCIRG1, TNFRSF11A, TNFSF11) are autosomal recessive, but the umbrella entry explicitly lumps autosomal dominant ADO2/Albers-Schönberg, which IUIS does not list. `iuis_category` is single-valued and entry-level, so tagging the umbrella would assert the IUIS placement over forms outside the IUIS entity. The AR-specific `Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis 1` entry (TCIRG1, MONDO:0009815) has no such scope mismatch and was classified and added to `Intrinsic_and_Innate_Immunity_Defect_IEIs` instead. - **Hidradenitis Suppurativa** is deliberately left unclassified. The IUIS Table 6 rows (NCSTN, PSEN, PSENEN) are the familial autosomal-dominant gamma-secretase entities; the KB entry is the sporadic-inclusive disease, carrying those genes only as familial-subset susceptibility loci. Tagging the whole entry as an inborn error of immunity would over-claim beyond what the familial subset supports. See also #11877, which independently tracks entries that already carry an `iuis_category` but are absent from their matching sub-grouping's `members:` — a different gap (listing) from the one this discussion tracks (classification).

Proposed experiments

  • Backfill iuis_category across candidate IEI entries — For each kb/disorders/ entry with an IEI phenotype and no `classifications.iuis_category`, cite the IUIS 2024 classification (PMID:41608114) or a disease-specific source that states the table placement, add the assignment with a verified snippet, then add the entry to the matching sub-grouping. Each needs its own sourced assignment, which is why the backfill was not done as part of the pass that surfaced it. Remaining open candidate as of 2026-09-17: STAT2 Deficiency (pending PR #11810).
KNOWLEDGE GAP iei_phenocopy_scope_boundary
Should IUIS Table 10 phenocopies be modelled somewhere in dismech, given that they are deliberately excluded from this grouping?
This grouping excludes IUIS Table 10 because its members are not germline monogenic disorders and so fail the NECESSARY criteria — 8 of the 17 are caused by somatic mutations and 9 by neutralizing anti-cytokine autoantibodies. The exclusion is correct for this grouping but leaves the concepts homeless: an anti-IFN-gamma autoantibody syndrome is mechanistically an immunodeficiency, is diagnosed and managed in the same clinics, and phenocopies a curated germline entry closely enough that the two are differential diagnoses of each other. Whether dismech should carry them as ordinary Disease entries outside this tree, as a sibling non-IEI grouping, or not at all is an open scope decision, not something the criteria here settle.

Evidence

  • PMID:41608114 — “Total number of conditions for Table 10: 17 (8 due to somatic mutations; 9 due to autoantibodies).”

description: >-
  Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are Mendelian disorders caused by germline
  variants in genes required for immune development, regulation, or effector
  function. The IUIS Expert Committee's 2024 classification — the current
  edition, superseding the 2022 update — describes 559 IEI across 508 genes and
  17 phenocopies, of which 67 monogenic defects and 2 phenocopies are new since
  2022, organized into ten phenotypic tables spanning recurrent infection,
  immune dysregulation, autoinflammation, complement deficiency and bone marrow
  failure. Each condition is individually rare, but together they are not: a
  recent US study put the incidence of IEI at 6 per 10,000 people.
grouping_basis:
- SHARED_MECHANISM
- CLINICAL_CONVENTION
grouping_rationale: >-
  Grouped on the defining monogenic-immunity mechanism: every member is a
  germline inborn error disrupting the immune system, as recognized by the
  International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) phenotypic
  classification. Members are kept as separate Disease entries (and further
  organized into IUIS-table sub-groupings) because causal gene, inheritance,
  dominant clinical phenotype (infection vs dysregulation vs autoinflammation),
  and organ involvement differ. This grouping points down to nested IUIS-table
  groupings rather than listing all 500-plus entities flatly. The sub-groupings
  follow the IUIS table structure one-to-one, so an entity's table assignment —
  recorded per entry as `classifications.iuis_category` — determines exactly one
  sub-grouping, and the sub-groupings partition the members rather than
  overlapping. Note this holds for disease entities, not for genes: IUIS
  explicitly enters one gene in two tables when different variant classes give
  different phenotypes (RELA, OTULIN, NLRP1, ZAP70, IRAK4, IL6ST, STAT5B,
  FOXN1), so a gene-keyed query across this tree can legitimately return two
  sub-groupings.
  Somatic IEI phenocopies (IUIS Table 10), secondary immunodeficiencies (e.g.,
  HIV/AIDS), and incidental immunodeficiency features in non-IEI syndromes are
  out of scope.

    Several entries carry an unmistakable IEI phenotype but no

    Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome and Ataxia Telangiectasia (Table 2); and
    Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome and
    Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Syndrome (Table 7). The general
    problem is that table assignment is curated per Disease entry while grouping
    membership is curated on the grouping, so an entry can be mechanistically

    bookkeeping rather than biology, but leaving it implicit is what let five
    IUIS tables go unrepresented in this tree until 2026-08-20. Hosted on the
    umbrella rather than on any one sub-grouping because the candidates span
    Tables 2, 6 and 7.

    Updated 2026-09-17: Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, Ataxia Telangiectasia,
    Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome and
    Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Syndrome now all carry
    `classifications.iuis_category` and are resolved from this list. STAT2
    Deficiency remains open — PR #11810 classifies it but has not yet merged
    to `main`; re-check once it lands. Two further calls, raised by #11879's
    review of #11810, are recorded here as **non-assignment** decisions rather
    than open candidates, so the reasoning is not re-derived from scratch:

    - **Osteopetrosis** (the umbrella entry) is deliberately left unclassified.
      All seven IUIS Table 6 osteopetrosis rows (CLCN7, SNX10, OSTM1, PLEKHM1,
      TCIRG1, TNFRSF11A, TNFSF11) are autosomal recessive, but the umbrella
      entry explicitly lumps autosomal dominant ADO2/Albers-Schönberg, which
      IUIS does not list. `iuis_category` is single-valued and entry-level, so
      tagging the umbrella would assert the IUIS placement over forms outside
      the IUIS entity. The AR-specific `Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis 1`
      entry (TCIRG1, MONDO:0009815) has no such scope mismatch and was
      classified and added to `Intrinsic_and_Innate_Immunity_Defect_IEIs`
      instead.
    - **Hidradenitis Suppurativa** is deliberately left unclassified. The IUIS
      Table 6 rows (NCSTN, PSEN, PSENEN) are the familial autosomal-dominant
      gamma-secretase entities; the KB entry is the sporadic-inclusive disease,
      carrying those genes only as familial-subset susceptibility loci.
      Tagging the whole entry as an inborn error of immunity would over-claim
      beyond what the familial subset supports.

    See also #11877, which independently tracks entries that already carry an
    `iuis_category` but are absent from their matching sub-grouping's
    `members:` — a different gap (listing) from the one this discussion tracks
    (classification).

  prompt: >-
    Should IUIS Table 10 phenocopies be modelled somewhere in dismech, given
    that they are deliberately excluded from this grouping?
  rationale: >-
    This grouping excludes IUIS Table 10 because its members are not germline
    monogenic disorders and so fail the NECESSARY criteria — 8 of the 17 are
    caused by somatic mutations and 9 by neutralizing anti-cytokine
    autoantibodies. The exclusion is correct for this grouping but leaves the
    concepts homeless: an anti-IFN-gamma autoantibody syndrome is
    mechanistically an immunodeficiency, is diagnosed and managed in the same
    clinics, and phenocopies a curated germline entry closely enough that the
    two are differential diagnoses of each other. Whether dismech should carry
    them as ordinary Disease entries outside this tree, as a sibling
    non-IEI grouping, or not at all is an open scope decision, not something
    the criteria here settle.

      Total number of conditions for Table 10: 17 (8 due to somatic mutations;
      9 due to autoantibodies).
    explanation: >-
      Quantifies the excluded set and confirms its two non-germline mechanisms,
      which is why Table 10 fails this grouping's NECESSARY criteria rather
      than merely being uncurated.
notes: >-
  Nine IUIS-table sub-groupings, one per in-scope table; Table 10 (phenocopies)
  is excluded by the membership criteria rather than uncurated — see the
  `iei_phenocopy_scope_boundary` discussion. Per-disease IUIS assignment belongs
  in `classifications.iuis_category` on each Disease entry, and each
  sub-grouping's NECESSARY criterion is a `HAS_CLASSIFICATION` leaf reading that
  slot, so membership is machine-auditable via `just check-groupings` rather
  than aspirational.

  Expanded 2026-08-20 from four sub-groupings to nine. Tables 5-9 (phagocyte
  defects, intrinsic and innate immunity, autoinflammatory disorders,
  complement deficiencies, bone marrow failure) already had curated members
  carrying the right `iuis_category` but no sub-grouping to hang from, so eight
  IEI entries were unreachable from this umbrella. Thirteen further entries were
  added to the four existing sub-groupings in the same pass.

  Mechanism modules for IEI pathway families remain a follow-up before
  NECESSARY_AND_SUFFICIENT CONFORMS_TO_MODULE criteria can be used. MONDO
