Immunodeficiency 64(IMD64)

MedGen UID:
1684716
Concept ID:
C5231402
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: IMMUNODEFICIENCY 64 WITH LYMPHOPROLIFERATION
 
Gene (location): RASGRP1 (15q14)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0032803
OMIM®: 618534

Definition

Immunodeficiency-64 with lymphoproliferation (IMD64) is an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by onset of recurrent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in early childhood. Laboratory studies show variably decreased numbers of T cells, with lesser deficiencies of B and NK cells. There is impaired T-cell proliferation and activation; functional defects in B cells and NK cells may also be observed. Patients have increased susceptibility to EBV infection and may develop lymphoproliferation or EBV-associated lymphoma. Some patients may develop features of autoimmunity (summary by Salzer et al., 2016, Mao et al., 2018, and Winter et al., 2018). [from OMIM]
