Gene mutations in key PIDDs
| Disorder | Inheritance | Gene mutations |
|---|---|---|
| Severe reduction in all immunoglobulin isotypes and absent B cells: | ||
| X-linked agammaglobulinemia | XL | Btk |
| Autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia | AR | μ
chain Igα Igβ λ5 BLNK |
| Severe reduction in at least 2 isotypes with normal or low B cell numbers: | ||
| Common variable immunodeficiency | AR |
ICOS CD19 BAFFR SBDS |
| AD or AR | TACI | |
| Severe reduction in IgG and IgA with normal or increased IgM and normal B cell numbers: | ||
| CD40 ligand deficiency | XL | CD40XL |
| CD40 deficiency | AR | CD40 |
| AID deficiency | AR | AICDA |
| UNG deficiency | AR | UNG |
| Individual isotype or light-chain deficiencies with normal B cell numbers: | ||
| Immunoglobulin heavy-chain deletions | AR | 14q32 deletions |
| K chain deficiency | AR | K constant gene |
| Selective IgA deficiency | AD or AR | TACI |
XL = X-linked; Btk = Bruton tyrosine kinase; AR = autosomal recessive; BLNK = B cell linker protein; ICOS = inducible co-stimulator; BAFFR = B cell activation factor of the TNF family receptor; SBDS = Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome gene; AD = autosomal dominant; TACI = transmembrane activator and calcium-modulating ligand interactor; AICDA = activation-induced cytidine deaminase; UNG = uracil-DNA glycolase.
