Of the various possible underlying mechanisms, impaired synthesis of IgA light and heavy light chains se...
متن کاملIgA deficiency during treatment of infantile hypothyroidism with thyroxine.
Serum IgA concentrations in five children with infantile hypothyroidism fell soon after the start of treatment with thyroxine. In one child the IgA concentration fell appreciably (to less than 0.01 g/1) and remained reduced; in the four others it returned to normal. IgM and IgG concentrations were roughly normal throughout. The deficiency in IgA concentrations may have been due to stimulation b...

متن کاملT-LYMPHOCYTES IN IgA DEFICIENCY
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and IgA deficiency (IgAD) are primary humoral immune deficiencies with a similar genetic background, but clinical and laboratory manifestation of CVID is much more severe than that of IgAD. The aim of this study was to determine whether some abnormalities in T-lymphocyte subsets or function observed in CVID are also present in IgAD patients. T-lymphocyte ...
متن کاملSyndrome with IgA Deficiency
Autosomal deletion syndromes are of great interest since measurable loss of genetic material could lead to the mapping of the human autosomes. Short arm deletions and long arm deletions of chromosome 18 have been described in association with phenotypic changes (Grouchy et al., 1963, 1964) and reviewed recently by Wolf et al. (1967) and Reinwein, Ritter, and Wolf (1967). Since a ring chromosome...
