The in-depth characterization of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a recent advancement, revealing a complex genetic landscape.
The in-depth characterization of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a recent advancement, revealing a complex genetic landscape. A cohort study involving 571 patients identified 68 known disease-causing genes associated with this heterogeneous immune defect [1]. Notably, some patients exhibited gene defects typically linked to specific syndromes but lacked the characteristic syndromic features that would suggest alternative diagnoses (e.g. Kabuki Syndrome) [1].
