Disease
CD20_HUMAN Defects in MS4A1 are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 5 (CVID5) [MIM:613495; also called antibody deficiency due to CD20 defect. CVID5 is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low.[1]
Function
CD20_HUMAN This protein may be involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation.
