Abstract

The landscape of common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID) is rapidly evolving as the availability of next-generation sequencing leads to the discovery of new monogenic causes with the clinical phenotype of CVID. Herein, the biology of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein four (CTLA-4), differentially expressed in FDCP6 homolog (DEF6), and lipopolysaccharide responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA), and their impact on the development of a dysregulated, rather than an isolated, infectious phenotype of CVID are explored. The broad clinical phenotype associated with these monogenic forms of CVID is described, and common approaches to treatment are reviewed. Knowledge of the biology, clinical manifestations, and treatment options trialed thus far in patients with CTLA-4 insufficiency, DEF6 deficiency, and LRBA deficiency are essential in the consideration and effective management of patients with CVID stemming from these monogenic causes.
