Defect in IgV gene somatic hypermutation in Common Variable Immuno-Deficiency syndrome
Common Variable Immuno-Deficiency (CVID) is the most common symptomatic primary Antibody Deficiency Syndrome. This heterogeneous Syndrome is characterized by decreased levels of serum Ig while the number of circulating B cells is low or normal. The usual age at presentation is the second and third decade of life. Most patients present recurrent pyogenic infections predominantly of the upper and lower respiratory tracts and of the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the incidence of malignancies, such as gastric carcinoma and lymphoma, is significantly increased in patients with CVID ( 1 ). The heterogeneity of clinical and immunological presentations of CVID has hampered investigations. Although the basic immunologic defects that cause CVID are unknown, a number of in vitro immunologic abnormalities have been identified in patients with this Syndrome ( 1 , 2 ). Susceptibility genes for CVID within the major histocompatibility complex class II and III loci have been reported ( 3 , 4 ).
