Abstract
CVID is associated with defects in memory B-cell differentiation. Subclassification helps identify patients with clinical manifestations, particularly lymphoproliferation and autoimmune cytopenias in those with impaired B-cell maturation and isotype switching. Routine B-cell phenotyping may assist clinicians in predicting these clinical features.
