  1. 1 By definition, all probands with CVID had subnormal serum concentrations of total IgG at diagnosis; mean serum IgG concentrations were significantly lower in CVID (p < 0.000.1; two-tail t-test). The percentage of index patients with IgA deficiency was significantly greater in CVID (p = 0.0293; Chi-square test). The percentage of index patients with IgM deficiency was significantly greater in CVID (p = 0.0156; Chi-square test).
