Outline of Final Research Achievements

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous form of primary immunodeficiency and characterized by antibody deficiency. Although a small subset of CVID patients has identified a monogenic cause of disease, most of CVID patients have not identified the causes. The aim of research is to identify new genes which cause CVID and to clarify the pathogenesis of CVID. We analyzed the following case: 1) X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency with dysgammaglobulinemia, 2) NFkB2 deficiency, 3) hypogammaglobulinemia due to FANCA mutation. Moreover, we picked up some candidate genes from our whole exome data.
