Beyond monogenetic rare variants: tackling the low rate of genetic diagnoses in predominantly antibody deficiency
TLDR
The clinical and immunological variability of PAD is defined, how genetic defects identified in PAD have given insight into B-cell immunobiology is considered, and recent technological advances in genomics and the challenges associated with identifying causal variants are addressed.Abstract:
Predominantly antibody deficiency (PAD) is the most prevalent form of primary immunodeficiency, and is characterized by broad clinical, immunological and genetic heterogeneity. Utilizing the current gold standard of whole exome sequencing for diagnosis, pathogenic gene variants are only identified in less than 20% of patients. While elucidation of the causal genes underlying PAD has provided many insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis, many other genes may remain as yet undefined to enable definitive diagnosis, prognostic monitoring and targeted therapy of patients. Considering that many patients display a relatively late onset of disease presentation in their 2nd or 3rd decade of life, it is questionable whether a single genetic lesion underlies disease in all patients. Potentially, combined effects of other gene variants and/or non-genetic factors, including specific infections can drive disease presentation. In this review, we define (1) the clinical and immunological variability of PAD, (2) consider how genetic defects identified in PAD have given insight into B-cell immunobiology, (3) address recent technological advances in genomics and the challenges associated with identifying causal variants, and (4) discuss how functional validation of variants of unknown significance could potentially be translated into increased diagnostic rates, improved prognostic monitoring and personalized medicine for PAD patients. A multidisciplinary approach will be the key to curtailing the early mortality and high morbidity rates in this immune disorder.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed genetic linkage analysis in consanguineous families affected by hypogammaglobulinemia and concluded that mutations in LRBA cause an immune deficiency characterized by defects in B cell activation and autophagy and susceptibility to apoptosis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that mutations in Igalpha can be a cause of agammaglobulinemia and suggest that IGalpha does not play a critical role in B-cell development until it is expressed, along with mu heavy chain, as part of the pre-BCR.
