ESID Diagnostic Workshop 2025 – Report

We are delighted to share that the ESID Diagnostic Workshop 2025, held from 15th to 17th September in Freiburg, Germany, was a great success.

The 2025 edition of the ESID Diagnostic Workshop was organized by the Chair of the ESID Education Working Party, Clara Franco Jarava, and Professor Klaus Warnatz from the University of Freiburg, Germany.

GAIN2 – Genetic autoimmune network

The GAIN2_ESID-level-2 dataset has been developed for the documentation of patients with both, immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation, i.e. autoimmuniy and/or autoinflammation.
Hence, the GAIN2_ESID-level-2 dataset shall facilitate the publication of patient cohorts with multi-organ autoimmunity and autoinflammation. This dataset is now available on the ESID-Castor database. 

Genotype-phenotype correlation and precise phenotypic analysis utilizing medical ontologies in defined cohorts from the ESID registry: level 2 data for SOCS1 and APDS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) and GA4GH Phenopacket Schema provide a machine-readable framework for encoding clinical phenotypes based on semantic similarity scoring across individuals. This may perspectively allow for longitudinal modelling and outcome prediction using modern machine learning methods. This study will test the feasibility and analytical value using proof-of-principle cohorts (SOCS1 haploinsufficiency and APDS).

SOCS1 level 3 Registry Study

The team aims to provide a longitudinal data collection/registry for SOCS1 deficient patients for better understanding of the natural history, rare disease manifestations (e.g. mycobacterial disease), distribution of
variants, clinical penetrance of the variants among families, treatment efficacy (JAKi, other immunosuppressors, as well outcomes from HSCT and long term prognosis (e.g. lymphomagenesis). Provision of data for the study will be available through a CRF on the ESID Registry soon.
