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.
