Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| How these aberrancies are distributed over the family members and whether the ab-errant B-cell and T-cell patterns are comparable between family members; To select families eligible for a new study to investigate the genetic background and pathophysiology of CVID. | — |
