Recent human genetic errors of innate immunity leading to increased susceptibility to infection.

The germline encoded innate immunity governs eukaryotic host defense through both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, whereas adaptive immunity actions mainly via T cells and B cells characterized by their somatic genetic diversification of antigen-specific responses. Human inborn errors of innate immunity typically underlie infectious diseases. Disturbed innate immunity can additionally result in auto-inflammation. Here, we review inborn errors of innate immunity that have been recently discovered as well as new insights into previously described inborn errors of innate immunity.
