Hyper-IgM syndrome type 5(HIGM5)

MedGen UID:
328420
Concept ID:
C1720958
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: HIGM5; Hyper-IgM Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Type 5; Immunodeficiency with hyper IgM type 5
 
Gene (location): UNG (12q24.11)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0011971
OMIM®: 608106
Orphanet: ORPHA101092

Definition

Hyper-IgM syndrome is a condition characterized by normal or increased serum IgM concentrations associated with low or absent serum IgG, IgA, and IgE concentrations, indicating a defect in the class-switch recombination (CSR) process. For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM, see HIGM1 (308230). [from OMIM]
