The cause of SIgM deficiency is at this time not known. there is also no well defined pattern of inheritance. Patients with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, or infections such as Brucella, and those that take immunosupressive agents (as is often the case in the treatment of RA) may develop secondary SIgM deficiency's.
