In these disorders both T lymphocytes and often B lymphocytes, regulators of adaptive immunity, are dysfunctional or decreased in number. The main members are various types of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). [7] T-/B+ SCID (T cells predominantly absent): γc deficiency; JAK3 deficiency; Interleukin-7 receptor-α deficiency; CD45 deficiency
Milder forms of primary immunodeficiency, such as selective immunoglobulin A deficiency, are fairly common, with random groups of people (such as otherwise healthy blood donors) having a rate of 1:600. Other disorders are distinctly more uncommon, with incidences between 1:100,000 and 1:2,000,000 being reported. [5]
Primary Immunodeficiency is also known as congenital immunodeficiencies. [11] Many of these disorders are hereditary and are autosomal recessive or X-linked. There are over 95 recognised primary immunodeficiency syndromes; they are generally grouped by the part of the immune system that is malfunctioning, such as lymphocytes or granulocytes. [12]
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID): B cell levels are normal in circulation but with decreased production of IgG throughout the years, so it is the only primary immune disorder that presents onset in the late teens years. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD): a deficiency in NADPH oxidase enzyme, which causes failure to generate oxygen ...
PI3kinase. The pathophysiology of activated PI3K delta syndrome has several aspects. [2] The normal function has P110δ (PI3K) involved in immune system regulation. [9]P110δ effect is not limited to the immune system; P110δ has a presence in transformed epithelial cells and cell adhesion molecules (airway inflammation), and research has been done on the possibility of P110δ in the nervous ...
IgG deficiency is a form of dysgammaglobulinemia where the proportional levels of the IgG isotype are reduced relative to other immunoglobulin isotypes.. IgG deficiency is often found in children as transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, which may occur with or without additional decreases in IgA or IgM.
Hypogammaglobulinemia can be caused by either a primary or secondary immunodeficiency. Primary immunodeficiencies are caused by a mutation or series of mutations to the genome. [medical citation needed] For example, a study from 2012 found that a compound heterozygous deleterious mutation in the CD21 gene is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia.
The PID disorders (see List of primary immunodeficiencies) and its subgroup, the primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRDs; i.e., disorders of immunity characterized as excessive proliferations of lymphocytes and the development of immune responses against one's own normal tissues [16]), are immune disorders similar to those in IEI.
