Are you or your child experiencing symptoms involving your immune system that are difficult to treat? Has your family been unable to find answers? Do you or your child have a rare immune system issue requiring the coordination of doctors in different specialties?

If so, the Pittsburgh Immunogenetics Discovery Center (PIDC) at UPMC and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is here for you.

Our team features health care experts from many fields who diagnose and treat rare immune system and autoinflammatory disorders in kids and in adults. This coordination between CHP (for kids) and UPMC (for adults) makes us one of the only nationwide centers to offer comprehensive family-centered care.

Because these immune illnesses are so rare, we take pride in finding a treatment that will give you and/or your child the best results. If unable to identify a current clinical cause, we continue our efforts on a research basis.

Now, we are raising funds and awareness to further grow our program. This will allow us to support patients and families who may have an undiagnosed immune disease and are looking for answers, or to help patients already diagnosed with a rare immune system issue looking for cutting edge treatment options.
