Table 1.

Clinical data on patients whose DCs showed poor expression of MHC Class II-DR on initial testing. Family members of 15 of the 25 patients in the cohort were screened for immunoglobulin deficiencies. Five patients had affected family members with CVID and/or selective IgA deficiency (IgAD), 4 of whom appear in this table.
