IgA present in these secretions is also termed secretory IgA. [scidcompass.org]

Deficiencies of IgG present variably according to subclass. IgG deficiencies are typically relative among subclasses and not absolute. Thus even with a given selective IgG subclass deficiency, total IgG levels may still fall within normal range. [tititudorancea.com]

They rarely present with severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, to blood transfusions or intravenous immunoglobulin due to the presence of IgA in these blood products. [en.wikipedia.org]

IgD IgD antibodies may be present on the surface of B cells, but their function is not fully understood at this time. IgE IgE antibodies are normally present in trace amounts and are important in allergic reactions. [myigsource.com]

Whereas the antigen-presenting function of DCs has been reported to be normal in CVID [7, 8], their involvement in the origin of some CVID cannot be ruled out, as these cells are known to interact directly with B cells, to present antigen to T cells, [arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com]

[…] deficiency have a tendency to develop recurrent sinopulmonary infections, gastrointestinal infections and disorders, allergies, autoimmune conditions, and malignancies.[2] These infections are generally mild and would not usually lead to an in-depth workup [en.wikipedia.org]

• Cytopenia

  These patients have hypogammaglobulinaemia (low IgG with low IgA and/or IgM), poor specific antibody responses to vaccinations, and an increased incidence of autoimmune disease, particularly autoimmune cytopenias due to dysregulation of the immune response [racgp.org.au]

• Candida

  CMC is hereditary and presents itself soon after birth with frequent cases of oral candida (thrush). CMC occurs because of an individual's selective T-cell deficiency to Candida and related fungi. [immunodeficiency.ca]

Pathophysiology Genetic rearrangements occur during the maturation of B lymphocytes, eventually resulting in the surface expression of both immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgD on mature B cells. Cell signaling occurs through this surface IgD. [emedicine.medscape.com]
