Human MSH6 Deficiency Is Associated with Impaired Antibody Maturation
17 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Ig class-switch recombination (Ig-CSR) deficiencies are rare primary immunodeficiencies characterized by defective switched isotype (IgG/IgA/IgE) production. Depending on the molecular defect, defective Ig-CSR may also be associated with impaired somatic hypermutation (SHM) of the Ig V regions. Although the mechanisms underlying Ig-CSR and SHM in humans have been revealed (at least in part) by studying natural...
