This is a list of primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which are immune deficiencies that are not secondary to another condition.

The International Union of Immunological Societies recognizes nine classes of primary immunodeficiencies, totaling approximately 430 conditions. A 2014 update of the classification guide added a 9th category and added 30 new gene defects from the prior 2009 version. The most recent classification was released in 2019. The number of identified conditions continues to grow over time as more research is done.

The impact of primary immunodeficiencies ranges from mild to severe based on the condition.

Combined T and B–cell immunodeficiencies

Predominantly antibody deficiencies

In primary antibody deficiencies, one or more isotypes of immunoglobulin are decreased or don't function properly. These proteins, generated by plasma cells, normally bind to pathogens, targeting them for destruction.

• Absent B cells with a resultant severe reduction of all types of antibody: X-linked agammaglobulinemia (btk deficiency, or Bruton's agammaglobulinemia), μ-Heavy chain deficiency, l 5 deficiency, Igα deficiency, BLNK deficiency, thymoma with immunodeficiency
• B cells low but present or normal, but with reduction in 2 or more isotypes (usually IgG & IgA, sometimes IgM): common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), CD19 deficiency, TACI (TNFRSF13B) deficiency, BAFF receptor deficiency.
• Normal numbers of B cells with decreased IgG and IgA and increased IgM: Hyper-IgM syndromes
• Normal numbers of B cells with isotype or light chain deficiencies: heavy chain deletions, kappa chain deficiency, isolated IgG subclass deficiency, IgA with IgG subclass deficiency, selective immunoglobulin A deficiency
• Specific antibody deficiency to specific antigens with normal B cell and normal Ig concentrations
• Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy (THI)

Congenital defects of phagocyte number, function, or both

Autoinflammatory disorders

Complement deficiencies

The complement system is part of the innate as well as the adaptive immune system; it is a group of circulating proteins that can bind pathogens and form a membrane attack complex. Complement deficiencies are the result of a lack of any of these proteins. They may predispose to infections but also to autoimmune conditions.
