Description

Genetic advances in inborn errors of immunity, published as Volume 117 of the serial Advances in Genetics, provides a comprehensive and up‑to‑date overview of the rapidly evolving genetic landscape underlying inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Bringing together authoritative contributions from leading experts, this volume examines how advances in genomics, molecular diagnostics, and functional immunology have transformed the understanding, classification, and clinical management of primary immunodeficiency disorders. The chapters span severe monogenic conditions to complex, polygenic phenotypes, highlighting both mechanistic insights and translational implications. Collectively, the volume serves as an essential reference for researchers and clinicians seeking to understand how genetic discoveries are reshaping immunology and precision medicine.

Key features

  • Presents state‑of‑the‑art genetic insights across a broad spectrum of inborn errors of immunity, from severe combined immunodeficiency to complement disorders
  • Highlights the impact of next‑generation sequencing and functional genomics on disease discovery, diagnosis, and reclassification
  • Explores genotype–phenotype correlations and their implications for immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and infection susceptibility
  • Includes expert analyses of both classical monogenic disorders and genetically complex conditions such as common variable immunodeficiency
  • Emphasises translational relevance, linking genetic discoveries to clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and emerging therapeutic strategies

Readership

  • Researchers and principal investigators in genetics, immunology, and molecular medicine
  • Clinical immunologists and clinical geneticists involved in primary immunodeficiency diagnosis and management
  • Advanced postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical and translational sciences
  • Healthcare professionals and scientists specialising in immune dysregulation and rare genetic diseases

Ainara Castellanos-Rubio

Ainara Castellanos-Rubio obtained her PhD on Genetics from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) in 2010. During her PhD, she studied gene expression alterations and genetic polymorphisms associated to Celiac Disease. She did a short term research stay in the University of Tampere (Finland) under the supervision of Dr. Marku Makki and Dr. Katri Lindfors where she used three dimensional cell cultures to describe different pathways involved in Celiac Disease development. On 2011 she joined the Laboratory of Dr. Sankar Ghosh in Columbia University (NY, USA) where she carried out her postdoctoral studies. During her postdoctoral training, she studied the implication of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the immune and inflammatory response and she discovered and functionally characterized a novel lncRNA involved in the susceptibility to Celiac Disease. Dr. Castellanos-Rubio is an Ikerbasque Associate in the University of the Basque Country, where she leads her own group. She is interested in the involvement of noncoding RNAs in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and studies the influence of disease associated SNPs in the functional disturbance of these RNAs. More recently, she has become interested on the epitranscriptomic alterations involved in different aspects of RNA regulation and her group studies how SNPs and environmental factors can alter these epitranscriptomic signals influencing the inflammatory response that finally evolves in disease development.
