What is Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases : A Molecular & Cellular Approach about?

<p><P>The second edition of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases presents discussions of gene identification, mutation detection, and clinical and research applications for over 100 genetic immune disorders&#151;disorders featuring an increased susceptibility to infections and, in certain conditions, an icreased rate of malignancies and autoimmune disorders.
