Many recent, large, well-conducted studies have shown no benefits in reducing fracture risk, cardiovascular disease, cancer prevention, or death from vitamin D supplementation,” Cutler said.
Most often, this disease affects males whose mother is a carrier (heterozygous) for the disorder. Because females have two X-chromosomes, the mother will not be affected by carrying only one abnormal X-chromosome, but any male children will have a 50% chance of being affected with the disorder by inheriting the faulty gene.

A key difference is a malfunction of the innate immune system in autoinflammatory diseases, whereas in autoimmune diseases there is a malfunction of the adaptive immune system. [8] Symptoms of autoimmune diseases can significantly vary, primarily based on the specific type of the disease and the body part that it affects.

[1] To be considered a primary immunodeficiency (PID), the immune deficiency must be inborn, not caused by secondary factors such as other disease, drug treatment, or environmental exposure to toxins.
