Abstract excerpt
B cell differentiation and memory are controlled by the transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), a receptor encoded by TNFRSF13B. TNFRSF13B mutations are frequently found in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and in IgA -deficiency; yet, ~98% of those with mutant TNFRSF13B are healthy. Indeed, TNFRSF13B is among the 5% most polymorphic genes in man. Other mammals evidence polymorphism at...
