This cross-sectional, observational study utilized high-dimensional approaches, including transcriptomic analysis, serum protein profiling, and peripheral blood frequency assessments, to compare 228 adult and pediatric patients diagnosed with 22 monogenic immune-mediated conditions impacting various key immunological pathways, with 42 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Participants were enrolled in clinical protocols at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The primary objectives of the study were twofold: first, to identify disease-specific and shared "pan-disease" signatures using the collected data, and second, to develop a Random Forest classifier integrating these datasets to differentiate between age- and sex-matched healthy individuals and monogenic patients. This classifier produced a metric known as the "Immune Health Metric" (IHM). Subsequent analysis demonstrated that the IHM effectively distinguished healthy subjects from individuals with multiple polygenic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in independent datasets. Moreover, it exhibited correlations with healthy aging and tracked disease activities and treatment responses across both immunological and non-immunological conditions. Additionally, the IHM accurately predicted age-dependent antibody responses to various vaccines, including influenza, Hepatitis A/B, Yellow Fever, Varicella Zoster, and Meningococcal vaccines.The microarray-based transcriptomic data, aptamer-based serum protein concentrations (Somalogic platform), peripheral blood frequency data, and clinical information will be made accessible through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP).
