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). Genetic Heterogeneity of Immunodeficiency with Hyper-IgMOther forms of HIGM include HIGM2 (OMIM ), which results from mutation in the AICDA gene (OMIM ), HIGM3 (OMIM ), which results from mutation in the CD40 gene (OMIM ), and HIGM5 (OMIM ), which results from mutation in the UNG gene (OMIM ). See also HIGM4 (OMIM ).
