A test to screen patients with NEMO

Jordan S Orange and Raquel P. Deering just published a new article at the Clinical Vaccine Immunology journal where they talk about a test to evaluate primary immune deficiencies like NEMO where cells are unable to recognize certain disease-producing micro-organisms.

Just imagine! Andy had to deal with infections for two years before finding his diagnosis, the NEMO mutation. This test will allow doctors to identify the problem faster.

The title of the article:
Development of a Clinical Assay To Evaluate Toll-Like Receptor Function
