- Delayed growth and development
- Increased incidence of autoimmune diseases
- Increased incidence of malignant tumors
- Reduced numbers of peripheral blood B cells
- Absent or reduced levels of Ig
Pathogenesis of UBD
- Block of differentiation and development of B cells
- Reduced function of Th cells
