An observational study in LAD-1, DOCK8 and GATA2 Deficancy, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-16.

Background:
- Gene therapy is being investigated as a possible treatment for individuals with immunodeficiency diseases or other conditions that make it difficult to fight off infection. Gene therapy avoids problems with donor identification and possible rejection of bone marrow transplant by using the patient s own modified blood cells to help treat the disease. Researchers are interested in collecting stem cells from the blood of individuals with immunodeficiency diseases in order to use the cells to develop potential gene therapy treatments.
Objectives:
- To collect blood stem cells from patients with immunodeficiency diseases tto test our ability to correct the defects of these cells in the test tube.

Background:
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) represent candidate genetic disorders for new therapeutic approaches. Our laboratory is developing new therapies for individuals with PID using autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Newer therapies may circumvent problems with allogeneic HSC transplantation, especially graft rejection and graft-versus-host-disease. We are particularly interested in three PID: Dedicator of CytoKinesis-8 (DOCK8) deficiency, Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency type 1 (LAD-1), and GATA2 Deficiency. For all three diseases the gene has been cloned. Testing new therapies for these diseases would be considerably enhanced by the acquisition of peripheral blood CD34+ cells from individuals with these immunodeficiency diseases.
Objectives:
To provide a source of filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for laboratory research studies for DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, and GATA2 Deficiency.
Eligibility:
Individuals 18-40 years old with DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, and GATA2 Deficiency who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered for this protocol.
Design:
Individuals 18-40 years old with DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, and GATA2 Deficiency will receive five days of filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar followed by a single apheresis. CD34+ cells will be selected and frozen in aliquots by the Cell Processing Section of the Department of Transfusion Medicine. No treatments, or investigational therapy will be administered on this protocol.

Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the DOCK8 gene.
-LAD-1
Less than 10% CD18 expression on the neutrophil surface.
-GATA2 Deficiency
