Overview
Overview
Predominantly antibody deficiencies (PAD) are the most common type of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). PAD is a large group of diseases which may vary widely from having a complete absence of B cells and decrease in all immunoglobulins to having deficiency in specific immunoglobulins. Depending on the phenotype, agammaglobulinemia or CVID, patients can present either in infancy or adulthood.The main clinical characteristic of patients with PAD is recurrent bacterial infections, low levels of immunoglobulin (ranging from agammaglobulinemia to hypogammaglobulinemia), and impaired response to vaccines and antigens. Treatment is by intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulins and treatment of infections by antibiotics.

X-linked Agammaglobulinemia
X-linked Agammaglobulinemia
- It is an X linked disease, first described by Bruton in 1952.
- It is caused by the mutation of BTK gene (present on the long arm of X chromosome) which encodes for the protein Bruton tyrosine kinase,which is associated with the maturation and differentiation of the pre B cell.[1]
- The disruption of this protein can lead to significant decrease in all antibody isotypes, due to failure of Ig heavy chain rearrangement.[2]
- Affected individuals generally present between 3 months to 3 years of age, with almost 90% becoming symptomatic by 5 years of age.[3]
- Presence of maternal immunoglobulins provide transient protection, concealing symptoms of the disease and preventing early detection.
- Physical examination typically shows absence of lymph nodes.
- Patients are susceptible to recurrent infections with encapsulated organisms and enteroviruses, primarily effecting respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
- Laboratory findings show defect in humoral immunity with absence or negligible amount of IgM, IgG, and IgA, as well as <2% of B cells lymphocytes. Neutropenia can also be seen.[4][1][5]
- Treatment is mainly via hematopoietic stem cell therapy and through replacement of immunoglobulins either by intravenous or subcutaneous routes. Recurrent infections are prevented and treated by antibiotics.[6]

Overview
Selective Immunoglobulin A deficiency (SIgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency and is defined as “serum level of IgA equal or below 7mg/dl in the presence of normal level of other immunoglobulins in individuals older than four years of age and in which other causes of hypogammaglobulinemia have been excluded”. The first cases with selective IgA deficiency were diagnosed in 1963-64, 10 years after immunoglobulin A was described in the serum by Graber and Williams. SIgAD is more prevalent in caucasians. It is classified based on either the laboratory values of B-cells subsets or the clinical phenotype of individuals with the condition. SIgAD has been attributed to an intrinsic B cell lymphocyte defect, T cell lymphocyte abnormalities and most recently an impairment in cytokine regulation indicating that it is a heterogenous dysfunction but the exact mechanism is still not clear. SIgAD may be genetically transferred but the inheritance pattern is variable. Several studies have reported SIgAD linkage with MHC and non MHC susceptibility genes that are also found in many autoimmune conditions which somewhat explains their association. Majority of patients with SIgAD are asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients may present with Infections such otitis media, sinopulmonary infections, gastrointestinal infections, allergies or autoimmune conditions. Diagnosis is usually based on serum level of immunoglobulin A. There is no specific treatment for selective IgA deficiency but there are several components of its management to prevent the progression and complications such as patient education, vaccination, use of antibiotics and immunoglobulins. The prognosis is generally very good but few cases may progress to common variable immunodeficiency that doesn’t predict a favorable outcome.
Historical Perspective
- Immunoglobulin A was first discovered in the serum by Graber and Williams in 1953.[1]
- Within 10 years, the first cases with selective IgA deficiency were identified in healthy as well as in patients with ataxia telangiectasia.[2][3]
Classification
- Selective IgA deficiency may be classified based on either the laboratory values of B-cells subsets or the clinical phenotype of individuals with the condition.
Classification Based on Memory B cell Population
SIgAD can be classified based on the laboratory values of the B-cell subsets such as naive, IgM memory, switched memory or IgM+CD21- B cells in patients as compared to healthy individuals.[4]
| Percentage of switched Memory B cells (CD 19+, CD 21+, IgD-) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SIgAD1 Less than 0.4% of switched memory B cells (CD19+, CD21+, IgD-) | SIgAD2 Greater than 0.4% of switched memory B cells (CD19+, CD21+, IgD-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Classification Based on the Clinical Presentation
- Health related quality of life(HRQL) can be compromised by the severity of symptoms in patients with selective IgA deficiency. It is classified based on the clinical presentation of the patients suffering from it.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Several studies were carried out to establish the mechanism involved in selective IgA immunodeficiency but the exact pathogensis is still not clear.
- SIgAD has been attributed to an intrinsic B cell lymphocyte defect, T cell lymphocyte abnormalities and most recently an impairment in cytokines regulation indicating that it is a heterogenous dysfunction.[8][16][17]
- The most common pathological process involved in patients with selective immunoglobulin A deficiency is a maturation defect in B cells to produce IgA.[18]
- Normally, the surface immunoglobulins are acquired in a sequential manner in B- cell differentiation. The first surface immunoglobulin to appear on B cells is IgM, as the cells mature they acquire surface IgD and sometimes IgA or IgG. A fully differentiated B cell performs a specfic function which means it would bear a specfic surface immunoglobulin. It is found that Patients with sIgAD have B cells arrested at a stage where they co-express surface IgM, IgD as well as IgA and donot develop into IgA secreting plasma cells.[19].
- The abnormality appears to involve stem cells as it can be passed on by bone marrow transplantation.[20]
- Cytokine dysregulation such as lack of IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, TGF-b and most recently IL-21 is suggested to play a role in SIgAD.[17][21]
Genetics
- Several genetic mutations are associated with SIgAD which suggest its polygenic nature but whether and how they imply causation is yet to be established.
| SIgAD association with MHC and Non MHC Genes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MHC Susceptibility genes | Non MHC Susceptibility genes | |||
- Mutation in tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13B (TNFRSF13B) gene that encodes for tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13B (TNFRSF13B) protein also known as “transmembrane activator and calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor”(TACI), a molecule responsible for isotype switching in B-cells is also found in this condition.[30][31]

Natural History
- Children ≤ 4 years of age may have transient IgA defiecncy and have a full recovery.[113]
- Majority of the patients > 4 years of age with SIgAD remain asymptomatic. Some of them will develop minor infections, allergies, autoimmune conditions and very few cases will have severe symptoms or progress to CVID.[114]
Complications
- SIgAD may progress to common variable immunodeficiency.
- Another potential complication of SIgAD is transfusion reaction to blood/blood products or intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
Prognosis
- Prognosis in patients with selective IgA deficiency depends on the clinical phenotype and is generally good as most of the patient are asymptomatic.
- Sponatanous recovery has been seen in cases with partial IgA deficiency.[115]
- In rare occasions, the disease may progress to common variable immunodeficiency which doesn’t predict a favourable outcome.[11][116]
Diagnostic Criteria
- Selective IgA deficiency is a laboratory finding that may not be associated with significant clinical presentaion.
- Mainly based on direct measurement of serum IgA levels.
- Serum IgA levels ≤ 7 mg/dl in the presence of normal IgG and IgM in patients older than 4 years of age is diagnostic.[56]
- It can be transient finding in children ≤4 years of age.[117]
- There should be high suspicion of SIgAD in patients having blood transfusion reaction.
- In addition SIgAD should always be considered as one of the differentials in patients suffering from recurrent infections.
Symptoms
- The majority of patients with SIgAD are asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients may present with:[92][114]
- Infections
- Otitis media
- Sinopulmonary infections
- Gastrointestinal infections
- Allergies
- Autoimmune conditions
- Infections
Physical Examination
- Patients with SIgAD usually appear normal but may have physical findings due to associated conditions.
Laboratory Findings
Electrocardiogram
There are no ECG findings associated with SIgAD.
X-ray
- There are no x-ray findings associated with SIgAD.
Echocardiography or Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with SIgAD.
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with SIgAD.
MRI
- There are no MRI findings associated with SIgAD.
Other Imaging Findings
- No other imaging studies are used to diagnose SIgAD.
Treatment
- There is no specific treatment for selective IgA deficiency. Individuals can be managed based on their symptoms as the presentation varies.
Medical Therapy
- Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections in patients with SIgAD. Prophylactic antibiotics may be used for recurrent infections[118]
- If prophylactic antibiotics fail, rarely, a trial of immunoglobulin replacement therapy with minimal component of IgA may be tried especially in patients with associated antibody or subclass deficiency, though its use in SIgAD is controversial as it can lead to anaphylactic reactions and serum immunoglobulins should always be checked before its administration.[119].[120][121][122].
- If blood transfusion is required, IgA deficient or washed blood components should be used.[123][124]
- Other treatment options depends on the associated conditions.
Primary Prevention
- Selective IgA deficiency is inherited with a variable inheritance pattern. There are no established measures for the primary prevention.
Secondary and Tertiary Prevention
- Effective measures for secondary and tertiary prevention of selective IgA deficiency include:
- Patient education
- Vaccination
- Use of prophylactic antibiotics
- Patient Education
- Patient with severe IgA deficiency may have anaphylactic reaction secondary to blood transfusion or its products. It is specifically seen in patients with undetectable serum IgA levels. These patients develop anti IgA antibodies so they should be advised to wear medical alert bracelet.[125][121][49]
- IgA levels should be periodically monitored in asymptomatic patients.
- Vaccination:
- Pneumococcal vaccine is recommended in patients with SIgAD to reduce the risk of sinopulmonary infections[51].
- Use of antibiotics:
- Prophylactic antibiotics can be given to patients with SIgAD to prevent infections and other complications.[126]

Kappa chain Deficiency
Kappa chain Deficiency
- Approximately 2/3 of the total immunoglobulins light chains, circulating and surface bound, are Kappa light chains.
- Deficiency is due to a genetic defect causing homozygous T to G substitution which leads to absent kappa light chain immunoglobulins, but the concentration of immunoglobulin isotypes (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and IgD) are normal due to compensation by lambda light chains.
- This leads to increased susceptibility bacterial infections of respiratory and gastrointestinal system, autoimmunity and IgA deficiency.
- Patients require frequent hospitalization and antibiotic therapy to treat recurrent infections.[68][69][70]
Selective IgM Deficiency
Selective IgM Deficiency
- Selective IgM deficiency (SIGMD) is defined as “serum IgM levels below two SD of mean with normal serum IgG IgA and T cells”.[71]
- Cause of IgM deficiency is due to many genetic defects, but commonly due to 22q11.2 chromosome deletion.
- Individuals with SIGMD present with increased susceptibility to infections by microorganisms and protozoa, atopy, impaired antibody response and autoimmune diseases.
- Treatment is via immunoglobulin replacement and treatment of infection with antibiotics.[72][73]
CARD11 Gain of Function
CARD11 Gain of Function
- Caspase recruitment domain-containing family member 11 (CARD11) is a scaffold protein which plays a crucial role in antigen receptor induced NF-kB activation, B cell differentiation, and functioning of effector T cell.[74]
- CARD11 gain of function mutations are associated with a disorder known as B cell expansion with NF-kB and T cell anergy (BENTA) disease.
- Patients present with enlarged lymph nodes and splenomegaly at infancy.
- Mutation leads to congenital B cell lymphoproliferation, impaired T cell response to antigen receptor activation, decrease in number of immunoglobulins, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, decreased response to vaccines and malignancies due to overactive NF-kB.[75][76][77]
- No definitive treatment, patients are monitored and treated for infections and in a few cases via splenectomy to decrease B cell load.[78]
