Researchers find weaker immune response to viral infections in children with mitochondrial disorders
NIH researchers analyzed the gene activities of immune cells in children with mitochondrial disorders and found that their B cells, which produce antibodies to fight viral infections, are less able to survive cellular stress.

The Genomics Landscape
In June 1, 2023, edition of The Genomics Landscape, NHGRI Director, Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., talks about the NHGRI-funded Human Pangenome Reference Consortium releasing a high-quality collection of human genome reference sequences, which together comprise a human “pangenome” reference.
Jobs at NHGRI
NHGRI seeks to identify an outstanding Director to lead its NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC), a trans-NIH genome sequencing center that produces more than 50 trillion bases of DNA sequence data per month and provides NIH investigators access to well-established, high-throughput DNA sequencing capacity.
News Release
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have identified genomic variants that cause a rare and severe inflammatory skin disorder, known as disabling pansclerotic morphea, and have found a potential treatment.
Statement
