We are delighted to share a milestone from the Journal of Human Immunity: the inaugural editorial by JHI Editor-in-Chief Jean-Laurent Casanova is now live, outlining the vision, scope, and mission in making our journal the destination for exciting research into human immunity, with a particular focus on inborn errors of immunity. Please read the full editorial here.

JHI publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, letters, editorials, and commentaries that provide novel insights into the physiology and pathology of human immunity through the study of genetic defects and their phenocopies, including the study of leukocytes and other cells.
The journal’s focus on human inborn errors of immunity encompasses conditions as diverse as infection, autoimmunity, autoinflammation, malignancy, and allergy. Human inborn errors of immunity include monogenic disorders with complete (Mendelian traits) or incomplete (non-Mendelian) penetrance. JHI welcomes other types of genetic basis (e.g., digenic), if causality is genetically unquestionable, or if the immunological mechanism is documented, or both. Single patient and single kindred genetic studies are considered, as are small and large series of patients. JHI will publish descriptions of new genotypes, immunological phenotypes, and clinical phenotypes, which may result from hitherto understudied ancestries or environments.
