Hyper-IgM Immunodeficiency with Enamel Defects: a Case Report
Background: Hyper-Immunoglobulin M (IgM) syndrome (HIGM) is a rare primary immunodeficiency in which defective B-cell isotype switching results in a phenotype characterized by elevated or normal serum IgM levels and low levels of other Ig classes, leading to an increased susceptibility to infection, neutropenia, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies. In this disease, a mutation occurs in the C...
متن کاملCase report Bone marrow transplantation as treatment for X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM
We report a 10-year-old boy with a severe form of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM who underwent successful bone marrow transplantation with his HLA-matched sister as donor. Busulfan (20 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) were used as conditioning. The post-transplant course was uneventful. He is alive 25 months later with full hematological and immunological reconstitution. BORDIGONI, P, e...
متن کاملMutational screening of the CD40 ligand (CD40L) gene in patients with X linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) and determination of carrier status in female relatives.
AIMS To analyse the gene encoding the CD40 ligand (CD40L) in 11 Australian patients from 10 unrelated families with the X linked hyper-IgM (XHIM) phenotype. METHODS The CD40L gene was screened for mutations using direct sequencing of exon specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. RESULTS Ten mutations were identified. Seven of these mutations have been described previously, whereas...
متن کاملNonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplant for X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin m syndrome with cholangiopathy.
OBJECTIVE X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M (X-HIM) syndrome is a rare genetic immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in the gene encoding CD40 ligand (CD40L, CD154). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers the prospect of immune reconstitution in X-HIM syndrome. Standard HSCT using high-dose chemoradiotherapy can be followed by serious hepatic problems, including ...
متن کاملSignaling through CD40 rescues IgE but not IgG or IgA secretion in X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM.
The ligand for CD40 (CD40L) is a membrane protein on activated T cells that induces B cell proliferation and differentiation. Several mutations of the CD40L gene were reported responsible for defective class switching of B cells in an X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper IgM (X-HIM). We studied four affected males from three families and found three independent mutations including new mutations...
