Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The candidate gene approach has led to the detection of associations between common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and mutations in the genes TACI, ICOS, BAFF-R, CD19, CD20, and CD81. Such mutations are present in less than 15% of cases, highlighting the complexity of the disease. Animal models for 2 genes involved in B-cell development, namely CARMA1/CARD11 and Bob1, develop an...
