Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the TNFRSF13B gene, encoding TACI, have been found in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and selective IgA deficient (IgAD) patients, but only the association with CVID seems to be significant. In this study, Czech CVID, IgAD and primary hypo/dysgammaglobulinemic (HG/DG) patients were screened for all TNFRSF13B sequence variants. The TNFRSF13B gene was mutated in 4/70 CVID patients (5.7%), 9/161...
