Disease ID:488
Name:Common variable immunodeficiency
Associated with:3 targets
Description
CVID is a group of genetically heterogeneous primary immunodeficiencies. Whilst a small number of cases can be linked to deficiency in a single gene (see the OMIM links as examples), the cause is likely to be polygenic in the majority of cases. Symptoms vary between patients, but CVID is generally characterised by a failure to produce antibodies (hypogammaglobulinemia) and therefore susceptibility to recurrent infections and inflammation (including autoimmunity).

Disease Ontology: DOID:12177
OMIM: 613495, 607594, 606453, 240500, 613493

Targets

GtoPdb Disease Summaries - Targets

Click on the target name to link to its detailed view page

Where available, information is display on the role of the target in the disease; drugs which target the disease and their therapeutic use and side-effects.

If there is mutation data curated in GtoPdb this is indicated, with a link back to the appropriate section on the target detailed view page

Immuno ligand interactions - If available, a table of immuno-relevant ligands is shown. These ligands have been curated as having an association to the disease and possess interaction data with the target in GtoPdb. The approval status of the ligand is shown, along with curator comments and an indication of whether the target is considered the primary target of the ligand.
