title: Update on selected inherited immunodeficiency syndromes.
abstract: Non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome disorders in children frequently have cutaneous manifestations that allow initial diagnosis to be suspected by the dermatologist and require continuing dermatologic management. Many recent developments have occurred in understanding the underlying gene defects, diagnosis of patients and carrier mothers of X-linked disorders, prenatal diagnosis, and new means of therapy of selected inherited immunodeficiency disorders.
