This committee should manage all technical issues, continuously update it with new information related to known PID as well as new diseases as they are reported. This committee will also advice the Registering Centers with administrative and ethical issues, and will provide data analysis for study initiatives using Registry data and answering queries on patient cohorts for further studies.
The aim of the LASID registry is to expand the current common data pool and estimate the disease burden of PID in Latin America, and to provide an internet-based database for clinical and research data on patients with PID. This database is a platform for epidemiological analyses and can also serve as a tool relevant for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies or the identification of novel disease-associated genes.
This committee should also promote PID registry within the national PID groups of interest throughout Latin America, develop clinical epidemiological investigational protocols, and elaborate regular progress reports.
