Overview

Historical Perspective

Immunoglobulin A was first discovered in the serum by Graber and Williams in 1952 and 10 years later, the first case with selective IgA deficiency was identified.

The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].

In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].

In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].

There have been several outbreaks of [disease name], including -----.

In [year], [diagnostic test/therapy] was developed by [scientist] to treat/diagnose [disease name].

Classification

  • Health related quality of life(HRQL)can be compromised by the severity of symptoms in patients with selective IgA deficiency. It is classified based on the clinical presentation of the patients suffering from it.[1][2]
Selective immunoglobulin A classification based on clinical phenotypes of the patients
  • About 60% of the patients have no clinical findings.
  • Care should be taken while transfusing blood or blood products
  • Regular monitoring i.e every 4-6 months is required as the disease may progress
  • Patient should be educated but no therapeutic intervention is required
minor infections Phenotype
  • About 12% of the patients have minor infection phenotype.
  • Infections are usually caused by viral or bacterial agents that normally resolves without any sequel but few patients have severe infections and need investigations for secondary immune defects such as IgG2 subclass deficiency or mannan-binding lectin.
Allergy Phenotype
  • About 15% of the patients fall under this category.
  • QoL is severely affected in patients of this group particularly in the mental componen.t
  • Allergic manifestations in this group of patients are more severe than in the general population so special consderation should be given to the prevention and treatment of these patients. Evaluations of serum IgE level, skin prick test and lung function test are suggested in these patients.
Autoimmune Phenotype
  • There is an evidence of reduced proper mental and physical function affecting the QoL in patients with SIgAD.
  • Among the autoimmune disorders, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia are more common in patients with IgA deficiency requiring blood or blood product administration frequently which should be performed with caution.
  • Based on the concurrence of autoimmune disordersscrreningAD, scrrening of IgA levels should be considered. In patients with SIgAD, IgA-based serological diagnosis of autoimmunity (e.g., celiac disease) is difficult, since these assays may usually be negative leading to underestimation of the prevalence of these diseases
Severe symptoms Phenotype
  • A few percent of the patient with SIgAD develop both recurrent or severe infections and autoimmune disorders fall into severe symptoms phenotype.
  • there is an association with HLA predisposing haplotype, reduced memeory B cells and decrease Treg counts.
  • Severe phenotype of selective IgA deficency and Combined variable immunodeficiecny share common clinical feature, eviddence of development of both the disease in a single family and progression of SIgAD into CVID propose a common genetic background.
  • Mortality rate for this group is twice as compared to the general population.
  • It is proposed that the patient with this phenotype and the family history of both SIgAD and CVID perform the basic clinical and immunologic evaluation and regular follow-up examinations.


Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • Several studies were carried out to establish the mechanism involved in selective IgA immunodeficiency but the exact pathogensis is still not clear.
  • SIgAD has been attributed to an intrinsic B cell lymphocyte defect, T cell abnormalities and most recently an impairment in cytokine regulation indicating that it is a heterogenous dysfunction.[3][4][5]
  • The most common pathological process involved in patients with selective immunoglobulin A deficiency is a maturation defect in B cells to produce IgA.[6]
  • Normally, the surface immunoglobulins are acquired in a sequential manner in B- cell differentiation. The first surface immunoglobulin to appear on B cells is IgM, as the cells mature they acquire surface IgD and sometimes IgA or IgG. A fully differentiated B cell performs a specfic function which means it would bear a specfic surface immunoglobulin.It is found that Patients with sIgAD have B cells arrested at a stage where they coexpress surface IgM, IgD as well as IgA and donot develop into IgA secreting plasma cells.[7].
  • The abnormality appears to involve stem cells as it can be passed on by bone marrow transplantation.[8]
  • Cytokine dysregulation such as lack of IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, TGF-b and most recently IL-21 is suggested to play a role in SIgAD[5][9]

Genetics

  • SIgAD is linked to several genetic abnormalities but whether they are involved in its causation is yet to be established. one of those malformations is a mutation in tumor necrosis factor(TNF) family member "transmembrane activator and calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor"(TACI), a molecule responsible for isotype switching in B-cells.[10]

Associated Conditions

Diseases Associated with IgA deficinecy
Combined Variable Immunodeficiency
  • Common genetic basis has been proposed for IgA deficiency and common variable immunodeficiency by their existence in the members of the same family and the underlying B cell defect. [11]* IgA deficiency may progress into combined variable immundeficinecy.[12]
Ataxia Telangiectasia[13]
Gastrointestinal carcinoma
  • There is an increased risk of cancer specifically of the gastrointestinal tract in adults.
  • Children with IgA deficiency are not at increased risk for cancers.[14]
Autoimmune disorders
  • Several autoimmune diseases have been associated with SigAD. The most common of them are celiac disease, type 1 diabetes myelitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Other less common conditions associated are rehumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, hyperthyreosis, idiopathic juvenile arthritis, hypothyreosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and mysthenia gravis.[15]

Differentiating IgA Deficiency from Other Diseases

IgA defieciency should be differentiated from other disorders leading to hypogammaglobulinemia and defects of humoral immunity. The following conditions may be considered as differentials:[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][3][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][38][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]

Disorder Defect (Mechanism of Development) Characteristic Features Clinical Presentation Laboratory Findings
X-Linked (Bruton) Agammaglobulinemia
Selective IgA Deficiency
  • Serum IgA < 7 mg/dl
  • Normal IgG and IgM levels
Common Variable Immunodeficiency
  • Defective B cell differentiation
  • May be acquired in 20-30 years of age
Autosomal dominant hype IgE syndrome (Job's Syndrome)
  • Distinctive coarse facies
  • Cold (non-inflammatory) Staphylococcal abscesses
  • Retained primary teeth
  • Eczema
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)
Ataxia Telangiectasia
Hyper IgM Syndrome
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
  • Malignancy: can cause the reduction in the immunoglobulin production.[65]
  • Viral infections: such as Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, cytomegalovirus are other causes of hypogammaglobulinemia..
  • Side effect of certain medications: Some drugs include systemic glucocorticoids, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, have been associated with IgG deficiency.[66]
  • Other causes of primary humoral immunodeficiencies.
  • Smoking: may cause IgG2 subclass deficiency.[67]
  • Protein-losing conditions: enteropathies, nephrotic syndrome, burns, and other traumas may cause abnormal loss of immunoglobulins.
