Australian ImmunoGenomics Alliance
An integrated multiomics approach to expedite diagnosis and management of inborn errors of immunity
We have assembled Australia’s leading individual, institutional, public
health and clinical programs in genetics, clinical immunology,
functional immunogenomics, bioinformatics and biostatistics.
Our goal is to close the widening gaps between genome
sequencing, functional variant validation, genetic diagnosis
and precision therapies to deliver a sustainable and equitable
model of care for patients with IEI.

Step 2: Email response
The Screening Committee will email you with a response. They will either approve your case for recruitment or let you know why the patient is not eligible, or they might request further information. Look out for an email and send a response as requested.
Step 3: Recruit your patient
After approval, you will be sent an email with instructions for recruiting your patient. This will involve obtaining informed consent from the patient, sending us specimens and providing additional information about the patient.
The AIGA patient recruitment process is overseen by the HREC-approved CIRCA Study. This initiative maintains the essential ethical and governance framework, along with operational infrastructure to facilitate the research conducted by AIGA. The recruitment email with instructions will direct you to the CIRCA website.
Outcomes and Results
You will be informed of any discoveries or outcomes of the research activities and be involved in the decisions made for your patient. You will be accredited in publications and presentations.
