Any common variable immunodeficiency in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CD81 gene.
Features include always present findings: Glomerulonephritis, Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, Complete or near-complete absence of specific antibody response to tetanus vaccine, and Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) and others. 18 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Kidneys and urinary system | 5 | Glomerulonephritis, Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, Macroscopic hematuria |
CD81 encodes CD81 molecule (236 aa). Structural component of specialized membrane microdomains known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TERMs), which act as platforms for receptor clustering and signaling. Highest expression in Uterus (1,119 TPM) and Cervix Endocervix (834.6 TPM).
Immunodeficiency, common variable, 6 has limited evidence linking it to mutations in the CD81 gene on chromosome 11.
CD81 is classified as a druggable target (Cell Surface, Druggable Genome, and Transporter categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for CD81 is available. Testing is considered research-grade for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for immunodeficiency, common variable, 6 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 16 always present features.
No clinical trials have been registered for immunodeficiency, common variable, 6.
98 publications have been identified in PubMed for immunodeficiency, common variable, 6. Research spans Epidemiology / Natural History (37%), Review / Meta-Analysis (21%), and Case Report / Case Series (18%).
