Immunodeficiency With Hyper-igm, Type 2; Higm2

Description

Hyper-IgM syndrome type 2 (HIGM2) is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM levels with absence of IgG, IgA, and IgE, resulting in a profound susceptibility to bacterial infections.For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM, see HIGM1 (OMIM ).
