Common variable immunodeficiency

Disease ID:488
Name:Common variable immunodeficiency
Associated with:3 targets
Description
CVID is a group of genetically heterogeneous primary immunodeficiencies. Whilst a small number of cases can be linked to deficiency in a single gene (see the OMIM links as examples), the cause is likely to be polygenic in the majority of cases. Symptoms vary between patients, but CVID is generally characterised by a failure to produce antibodies (hypogammaglobulinemia) and therefore susceptibility to recurrent infections and inflammation (including autoimmunity).

Targets

TACI
Role:  Heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous mutations in the TNFRSF13B gene have been identified as causing common variable immunodeficiency type 2 (CVID2).

CD20 (membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 1)
References:  3
ICOS (CD278)
Role:  Homozygous mutation in the ICOS gene is known to cause common variable immunodeficiency type 1 (CVID1; OMIM: 607594).
