  2. Hypogammaglobulinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypogammaglobulinemia

    Screening of immunoglobulin levels in relatives of CVID and IgA patients finds a familial inheritance rate of 10% to 20%. In cases where a carrier of such a mutation would like to have children, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has been offered. [2] PGD is defined as the testing of pre-implantation stage embryos or oocytes for genetic ...

  3. IgG deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IgG_deficiency

    IgG deficiency is a form of dysgammaglobulinemia where the proportional levels of the IgG isotype are reduced relative to other immunoglobulin isotypes.. IgG deficiency is often found in children as transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, which may occur with or without additional decreases in IgA or IgM.

  4. Globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globulin

    If a patient's protein level is very low there could be a possibility that the patient may have a liver or kidney disease since globulins are produced in the liver. There are two different types of blood tests. There is the total protein test or the serum protein electrophoresis which measures the level of each protein in a patient's blood.

    Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency - Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency is classified as an IgA level below 7mg/dl (0.4375 μmol/L) with normal levels of other immunoglobulins. Some people with selective immunoglobulin A deficiency are prone to infections and develop other autoimmune disorders such as lupus, celiac disease and ...

  6. Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_immunoglobulin_A...

    Selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (SIgAD [1]) is a kind of immunodeficiency, a type of hypogammaglobulinemia.People with this deficiency lack immunoglobulin A (IgA), a type of antibody that protects against infections of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, airways, and digestive tract.

  7. Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_hypogamma...

    It is unknown what specifically causes infantile transient hypogammaglobulinemia. The following are some of the hypothesized mechanisms: 1) defective T cells that prevent B cells from stimulating the proper synthesis of antibodies; 2) maternal IgG suppresses the production of IgG; 3) low levels of vital cytokines; and 4) genetic variations in families predisposed to immunodeficiency.

    Other globular proteins are the alpha, beta and gamma (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM) globulin. See protein electrophoresis for more information on the different globulins. Nearly all enzymes with major metabolic functions are globular in shape, as well as many signal transduction proteins.
