Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency marked by impaired antibody production and infection susceptibility, with about half the patients developing noninfectious complications. B-cell activating factor (BAFF) elevation and genetic variants in a BAFF receptor (BAFF-R), transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), frequently occur in CVID. Although these findings...
