Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • A rare inherited immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by normal or elevated serum IMMUNOGLOBULIN M levels with absence of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; and IMMUNOGLOBULIN E. It results in a profound susceptibility to BACTERIAL INFECTIONS and an increased susceptibility to OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS. Several subtypes of hyper-IgM immunodeficiency syndrome exist depending upon the location of genetic mutation. Hyper-IgM immunodeficiency subtype resulting from mutation in the gene encoding activation-induced CYTIDINE DEAMINASE. Hyper-IgM immunodeficiency subtype resulting from mutation in the gene encoding CD40 ANTIGEN.
