X-Linked Brutons Agammaglobulinemia
-Decreased ALL Ig (because it's a B-Cell Defect and B cells make Ig)
IgA Deficiency
-need I say what is deficient? :P
IgG Subclass Deficiency
-LOW IgG2
-Note: most people with IgG Subclass def. also have IgA def.
DiGeorge Syndrome -(A T-cell defect)
-Normal Ig
-but sometimes IgA decreased, IgE increased (DEE gEorge -E EENcreased)
Wiscott-Aldrich:
IgA and IgE increased
Ig M decreased
IgG normal
Ataxia-Telangiectasia (B AND T Cell defect)
IgA deficiency
IgE and IgM also low
(CD4 and CD 3 cells reduced)
Please confirm or correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

I'm adding a few more:
Hyper IgM Syndrome:
HIGH IgM, Deficiency of IgG and IgA
Common Variable Immunodeficiency:
All Ig decreased (but NORMAL B cells, unlike Brutons which has decreased/low B cells)
Selective subclass IgG deficiency:
seen in patients with recurrent infections despite NORMAL IgG levels
Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia:
Decreased IgG, Normal IgA, Variable IgM
Job's Syndrome or Hyper IgE Syndrome:
Increased IgE, -(eosinophilia, coarse facial features)
