    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene is a cytosolic regulatory component of the superoxide-producing phagocyte NADPH-oxidase, a multicomponent enzyme system important for host defense. This protein is preferentially expressed in cells of myeloid lineage. It interacts primarily with neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 (NCF2/p67-phox) to form a complex with neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1/p47-phox), which further interacts with the small G protein RAC1 and translocates to the membrane upon cell stimulation. This complex then activates flavocytochrome b, the membrane-integrated catalytic core of the enzyme system. The PX domain of this protein can bind phospholipid products of the PI(3) kinase, which suggests its role in PI(3) kinase-mediated signaling events. The phosphorylation of this protein was found to negatively regulate the enzyme activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.

    Summary from GeneReviews: Common Variable Immune Deficiency Overview Go to GeneReviews

    Disease Characteristics
    Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) is characterized by humoral immune deficiency with onset after age 24 months and usually in young adulthood, resulting in increased susceptibility to infections and diminished responses to protein and polysaccharide vaccines. The most common infections are sinopulmonary and include Streptococcus pneumonia, Hemophilis influenza, Klebsiella pneumonia, and sometimes mycoplasma infections. Individuals may experience meningitis or other systemic bacterial infections, recurrent eye or skin infections, or gastrointestinal symptoms related to compromised immune/gut homeostasis, including chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, or bloating. They may also have abnormal T-cell function and immune dysregulation, including lymphoid hyperplasia, gastrointestinal inflammation, autoimmune phenomena, and susceptibility to malignancy, especially lymphomas.
    Diagnosis Testing
    The diagnosis of CVID is primarily established by testing for low serum IgG concentration ranging from profoundly reduced (<100 mg/dL) to just below adult normal range (500-1200 mg/dL). Individuals often manifest a functional defect in IgG responses to immunization by Pneumovax((R)) and bacteriophage PhiX174. Other abnormal laboratory studies include reduced serum concentrations of other immunoglobulins, especially IgA or IgM, and reduced numbers of switched memory B-cells as assessed by peripheral B-cell immunophenotyping. Abnormal laboratory or imaging studies include abnormalities in T-cell memory subsets on T-cell immunophenotyping; in vitro proliferative responses of peripheral blood lymphocytes to a general mitogen, crosslinking of CD3, or activation with specific antigens; deficient cytokine production by peripheral blood lymphocytes; nodular lymphoid hyperplasia on x-ray, enteroscopy, or intestinal biopsies; and evidence of non-caseating granulomas on imaging or biopsy. Testing for loss of protein expression is clinically available for TACI-, CD19- and BAFFR-associated CVID. Molecular genetic testing for mutations in TNFRSF13B (TACI) (found in 10%-15% of individuals with CVID) and ICOS (found in </=1% of individuals with CVID) is clinically available.
    Genetic Counseling
    CVID can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner. In families in which CVID is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, the sibs of an affected individual have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation assuming that one parent has a disease-causing mutation. In families in which CVID is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, the parents of an affected individual are most like heterozygotes (usually asymptomatic) and each carries one mutant allele. At conception, each sib of an affected individual has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier. Carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis for pregnancies at increased risk for TACI-associated CVID and ICOS-associated CVID are available on a clinical basis once the mutations have been identified in the proband.
