328419
•Concept ID:
C1720957
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Hyper-IgM Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Type 3; Immunodeficiency with hyper IgM type 3
 
Gene (location): CD40 (20q13.12)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0011735

Definition

Type 3 immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM (HIGM3), first described in humans by Ferrari et al. (2001), is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia with normal or elevated levels of IgM. For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM, see HIGM1 (308230). [from OMIM]

Recurrent bacterial infections
MedGen UID:
334943
•Concept ID:
C1844383
•
Finding

Absence of lymph node germinal center
MedGen UID:
376112
•Concept ID:
C1847383
•
Finding
Absence of germinal centers in lymph nodes. Germinal centers are the parts of lymph nodes in which B lymphocytes proliferate, differentiate, mutate through somatic hypermutation and class switch during antibody responses.

871195
•Concept ID:
C4025672
•
Cell or Molecular Dysfunction
Impaired production of memory cells, the B cells that persist for years or an entire lifetime and which confer rapid and enhanced response to secondary challenge.
