The consequences of hypogammaglobulinemia are quite severe, mainly due to a compromised immune function.
The human immune system is a crucial part of defending against pathogenic bacteria and cells, so defects in immune function can easily lead to various diseases and infections.
This condition is usually caused by congenital genetic abnormalities or acquired genetic mutations.
Hypogammaglobulinemia primarily results from a partial or complete reduction in the concentration of serum immunoglobulins compared to normal individuals, hence it is also known as this syndrome.
Congenital hypogammaglobulinemia is generally due to the absence of one or more types of globulins among igG, igA, IG, and M.
It is only when the immune function is compromised that such symptoms are likely to occur, requiring genetic testing.
