Therefore it is not surprising that in patients showing characteristics of CVID, monogenetic defects are found in genes relevant to BCR signaling or the elicitation of CD4+ T-cell help, including CD19 [6], CD20 [7], CD81 [8], or CD27 [9], CD40L [10] and ICOS-L [11]. The gene discussed is CD40LG; the disease is common variable immunodeficiency.
