a. Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor protein deficiency ==> PNH(Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria)
b. Adenosine deaminase deficiency ==> T-, B-, and natural killer (NK)–cell form of SCID with marked lymphopenia
c. NADPH oxidase deficiency ==> Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
d. Defective CD40 ligand ==> X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper–immunoglobulin M
e. C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency ==> Hereditary angioedema
