  • Description: <jats:sec><jats:title>Introduction</jats:title><jats:p>Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are characterized by a dysfunction of the immune system leading to increased susceptibility to infections, impaired immune regulation and cancer.

We hypothesize that the variants in <jats:italic>FBP1</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>ACAD9</jats:italic> might aggravate the clinical and immune phenotype, influence serial killing and lytic granule polarization by CD8 T cells. Understanding of the interplay between the multiple variants identified by whole exome sequencing (WES) is essential for correct interpretation of the immune phenotype and important for critical treatment decisions.</jats:p></jats:sec>
