Alberta Children's Hospital Complex Immune Dysregulation Program
Our program expedites genetic diagnoses for children with complex immune dysregulation disorders and optimizes tailored treatment.
Why choose us
Lack of access to genomic testing is common in children with complex immune dysregulation disorders.
We offer a patient-partnered interdisciplinary clinical and research program where families from across Canada can turn for advanced diagnostics of suspected immune dysregulation disorders and personalized treatments targeting the unique cause of a child’s symptoms.
These collaborative and innovative solutions lead to dozens of children with rare disorders being seen by a group of geneticists, immunologists, dermatologists, rheumatologists and other specialists working together.
