The genetics of hypogammaglobulinemia.
Etiologies for human hypogammaglobulinemias are diverse and include genetic and nongenetic causes. Although recent reviews focus on the complex genetics of common variable immunodeficiency, in this review, we survey different causes of hypogammaglobulinemias and discuss possible mechanisms.
