Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inborn errors of immunity comprise a wide spectrum of conditions characterized by a marked immunogenetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Beyond an increased susceptibility to infections, the clinical symptomatology is associated with immune dysregulation encompassing autoimmune, allergic, autoinflammatory, and lymphoproliferative complications as well as organ-specific immunopathology. The ever-increasing advancements in molecular genetics have contributed to uncovering immunogenetic underpinnings and elucidating the phenotype–genotype interconnections of inborn errors of immunity. From the era of clinical and immunological diagnosis, we are surpassing the era of molecular immunogenetics, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, paving a new way to precision medicine and novel patient-tailored targeted immunomodulatory therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue aims to discuss and highlight the immunopathogenesis of inborn errors of immunity, focusing on the role of specific genes, signaling pathways, and molecular interplays. The thematic scope of the articles will comprise the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of these disorders in the context of molecular immunogenetics.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are particularly welcome. Instructive case reports on unusual clinico-pathological studies of immune conditions will also be accepted.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
