Autoimmune diseases are characterized by immune dysregulation, leading to immune-mediated damage of healthy tissues and cells. Despite increasing research, the exact cause of individual autoimmune disorders is not yet entirely understood. Pediatric autoimmune diseases, in particular, are often less extensively studied and present their own challenges to physicians in terms of diagnosis, as well as their treatment, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Understanding how autoimmune responses initiate and progress will allow us to develop novel therapeutics and improve disease management strategies. Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are genetic disorders that have recently been linked to a series of early-onset autoimmune disorders. An example is the LRBA deficiency which may manifest as a series of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, endocrinopathies, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, arthritis, and SLE. The IEI may also manifest as increased susceptibility to infections, autoinflammatory, allergic, and/or malignant diseases, however, there are few IEI in which an autoimmune manifestation has never been observed.
