Resource[edit]

This looks like a useful resource: J Mol Diagn JFW | T@lk 20:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary removal[edit]

The following were previously listed, but I could not place them in the system that I've unashamedly borrowed from Lim2004. I will reintroduce them when I can place them:

Complement deficiency
Vici syndrome
Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (Job's Syndrome)

Better classification[edit]

Just after using Lim2004 I discovered that a 2005 consensus conference has done more work in classifying the primary immunodeficiencies: doi:10.1016/j.jaci.2005.12.1347. I will have to read the second paper and decide how to make the section accessible to readers and still reflect the latest classification. JFW | T@lk 17:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Myeloperoxidase deficiency is not included in the 2005 consensus. In contrast, it mentions complement deficiency (table VIII) and hyper-IgE syndrome. Dunno about Vici syndrome. JFW | T@lk 17:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done[edit]

I'm now finished working the Notarangelo document into this article. Do we need more clinical descriptions of every syndrome? Or perhaps its mode of inheritance? JFW | T@lk 18:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New classification[edit]

In 2007, the 2005 classification was updated (doi:10.1016/j.jaci.2007.08.053). Just as I was about to start looking at this, I discovered that there is a 2009 classification! doi:10.1016/j.jaci.2009.10.013 is just that.

I think I ought to drop the committee an email to ask if they have submitted the most recent classification yet. Apparently they meet every two years (link). JFW | T@lk 15:34, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cytopenias[edit]

Big hat, no cattle (er... big list, no content)[edit]

Looks like this article was a one-man show until now. I propose that we desist going down the path of more and more list-element entries, which are available in the cited sources to interested research professionals (few and far between), and focus on text accessible to the ordinary (high school or college educated) reader. As a first step, maybe one we can agree on, move the condition names into an appendix, with a hide/show box, default hidden, to focus attention on the article, not the list. Maybe, we move the entire list into another article, a list-article, like I've seen some other places. The remainder of the article is anemic, and we need to work on that.Sbalfour (talk) 00:57, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
