Immunodeficiency With Hyper-igm, Type 1; Higm1
Description
HIGM is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM levels associated with markedly decreased IgG, IgA, and IgE, resulting in a profound susceptibility to bacterial infections and an increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Patients with X-linked HIGM also tend to have neutropenia, as well as a high rate of gastrointestinal and central nervous system infections, often resulting in severe liver disease and/or neurodegeneration (summary by Levy et al., 1997).
