Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent infections. Significant morbidity and mortality are caused by immune dysregulation complications (CVIDid), which affect around one-third of CVID patients and have a poorly understood etiology. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that gut microbial dysbiosis contributes to the inflammation underlying CVIDid.

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by the leakage of protein from the blood into the urine along with the triad of proteinuria, albuminuria, and peripheral edema. Loss of protein leads to the loss of immunoglobulin and complements. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), or Bruton disease, is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by a defect in the development of B cells in the bone marrow and a low serum level of immunoglobulins.

Agammaglobulinemia is a rare inherited immunodeficiency disorder characterized by low or absent B cells with absent immunoglobulins. While X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is the most common type other genetic forms of agammaglobulinemia have been identified. During early childhood, passively transferred maternal Immunoglobulin G protects against various infections.

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a common inherited hemolytic disease caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins crucial to the red blood cell (RBC) membrane, leading to a change in RBC shape from biconcave to spherical. There are five distinct types of hereditary spherocytosis, with types III and V being autosomal recessive and types I, II, and IV autosomal dominant. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a common inborn error of immunity that impairs B cell maturation and differentiation.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) was one of the first inborn errors of immunity to be described. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene for Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which has important functions in B cell development and maturation. Recurrent bacterial infections in the first two years of life and hypogammaglobulinemia with absent B cells in male patients are the most common symptoms.
