Solution
The most common humoral immuno deficiency disease is selective IgA deficiency.
Humoral immunodeficiency diseases are those that cause impaired humoral immunity (immunity mediated by B-cells)
Bruton agammaglobulinemia is a X-linked inherited immunodeficiency disease due to mutations in Bruton tyrosine kinase gene. As a result maturation of pre-B cells into mature B-cells doesnot occur.
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is X-linked recessive disorder which is rare and is characterized by thromobocytopenia (low blood platelet count), bloody diarrhea and eczema.
Selective IgA deficiency is also a genetic immunodeficiency disorder and is mostly asymptomatic. In people with this deficiency B-cells fail to secrete IgA antibody. As a result, the person is more susceptible to infections of respiratory and digestive tracts.
