BACKGROUND: Mutations in the gene coding for transmembrane activator and calcium-
modulating cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) have been identified in common variable
immunodeficiency (CVID). Mutations coincided with immunodeficiency in families,
suggesting dominant inheritance. OBJECTIVE: Because most subjects with CVID have no
immunodeficient family members and heterozygous mutations predominate, the role of TACI
mutations in sporadic CVID is unclear. METHODS: TACI was sequenced from the genomic …
