Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) represents a heterogeneous group of primary antibody deficiency disorders characterized by recurrent infection and by inflammatory, granulomatous, and autoimmune complications. Recently, there have been significant advances in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease, with five genetic mutations identified in patients who have a CVID phenotype. Clinical care also has progressed with refinements in treatment and the development of classification schemes for prognostic and research purposes. Significant delays in diagnosis remain, however. It is likely that more genetic defects will be identified in the future, further shrinking the pool of patients who have CVID of unknown cause
