Clinical, immunological, and genetic landscape of common variable immunodeficiency in Morocco: a nationwide multicenter study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most prevalent symptomatic inborn errors of immunity (IEI), characterized by impaired antibody production, recurrent infections, and immune dysregulation. While extensively studied in Western populations, data from North Africa remains scarce. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of the clinical, immunological, and genetic landscape of CVID in a Moroccan nationwide cohort. Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted across eight university hospitals in Morocco from 2019 to 2025. Sixty-one CVID patients were enrolled according to ESID (European society of immunodeficiency) and MENA (Middle-East and North Africa) guidelines. Clinical, immunological, and genetic data were analyzed. Whole-blood samples were processed for immunophenotyping, and a subset of patients underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting 474 inborn error of immunity (IEI)-associated genes. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 25.9 (SD 18.7) years old, with a diagnostic delay of 6.91 (SD 8.82) years. The most frequent infectious complications were pulmonary infections (88.5%) and gastrointestinal infections (63.9%). Non-infectious complications were present in 49.2% of patients, with predominant features including lymphoproliferation (50.8%), autoimmune cytopenias (39.3%), and granulomatous disease (18%). Bronchiectasis was the most common pulmonary finding (44.3%). Genetic testing (n=25) revealed 19 pathogenic variants in 13 genes, including 14 novel variants, particularly Conclusion: This study provides Morocco's first clinical and genetic landscape of CVID, highlighting a high prevalence of consanguinity-associated monogenic defects and a significant burden of infectious and immune dysregulatory complications. Our findings emphasize the need for early diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, and access to targeted therapies in non-Western settings. Further studies with functional validation of genetic variants are warranted to refine precision medicine approaches in CVID.
