a

Classification according the Ameratunga et al.2 criteria. sHGUS- symptomatic hypogammaglobulinemia of uncertain significance, IgAd, IgA deficiency; F denotes females, M denotes males. III.1 has been re-designated ‘sHGUS’, as he has an underlying genetic defect. II.2 has been classified as CVID-like, as she now has an underlying genetic cause. Reference ranges IgG 7–14 g l−1, IgA 0.8–4.0 g l−1, IgM 0.4–2.5 g l−1.

b

We have used the clinical score as an index of severity based on sequelae of the disorder.21

c

IgG level of the proband II.2 was obtained in 2002, during a break from IVIG treatment, as result of adverse reactions; her current IgG is unknown because of SCIG treatment. ND, not done; T1D, type 1 diabetes.
