Abstract

Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the immune system, predisposing individuals to recurrent infections, allergy, autoimmunity, and malignancies. A considerable number of these conditions have been found to be also associated with neurologic signs and symptoms. These manifestations are considered core features of some immunodeficiency syndromes, such as ataxia-telangiectasia and purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, or occur less prominently in some others. Diverse pathological mechanisms including defective responses to DNA damage, metabolic errors, and autoimmune phenomena have been associated with neurologic abnormalities; however, several issues remain to be elucidated. Greater awareness of these associated features and gaining a better understanding of the contributing mechanisms will lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment and possibly development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. In this review, we aim to provide a brief description of the clinical and genetic characteristics of PID associated with neurologic complications.
