Definition

An increased proportion of CD8-positive, alpha-beta effector memory RA TEMRA T cells compared to the total number of T cells in the blood. These cells have the phenotype CD45RA-positive, CD45RO-negative, and CCR7-negative. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Immunodeficiency 102
MedGen UID:
1812534
Concept ID:
C5676886
Disease or Syndrome
Immunodeficiency-102 (IMD102) is an X-linked recessive immunologic disorder characterized by the onset of recurrent sinopulmonary, mucosal, and other infections in early childhood, usually accompanied by refractory autoimmune cytopenias. Affected individuals have bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, as well as hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and decreased NK cells. Laboratory studies show defective T-cell proliferation and function, likely due to signaling abnormalities. The disorder may also manifest as a hyperinflammatory state with immune dysregulation (Delmonte et al., 2021).
Immunodeficiency 117
MedGen UID:
1848763
Concept ID:
C5882739
Disease or Syndrome
Immunodeficiency-117 (IMD117) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to disseminated mycobacterial infection apparent in early childhood. Affected individuals develop mycobacterial disease after BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin) vaccination and show increased susceptibility to other mycobacterial infections, such as M. avium. Immunologic workup shows impaired development of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets that secrete and respond to gamma-interferon (IFNG; 147570) (et al., 2023).
