Study Notes
Immunodeficiency Disorders
- Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome: caused by a mutation in WASp, involved in actin polymerization and signaling, characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and recurrent infections
- Chediak-Higashi syndrome: defect in moving materials into lysosomes, resulting in giant granules
SCID-like Presentation
- Reticular dysgenesis: a combination of SCID, agranulocytosis, and sensorineural deafness
T-Cell Deficiencies
- DiGeorge syndrome: characterized by partial or complete absence of the thymus
- MHCII deficiency (bare lymphocyte syndrome): inability of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to present antigens
B-Cell Deficiencies
- Hyper IgE syndrome (Job's syndrome): characterized by high IgE levels, eosinophilia, and a STAT3 mutation
- Selective IgA deficiency: the most common primary immunodeficiency, but most individuals are asymptomatic
- Hyper IgM syndrome: caused by CD40L (X-linked) or CD40 (autosomal recessive) mutations, resulting in no class switching (IgA, IgE, and IgG)
- X-linked agammaglobulinemia: caused by a mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK)
- Combined variable immunodeficiency disease (CVID): the most common symptomatic antibody deficiency
Phagocytic Disorders
- Chronic granulomatous disease: caused by a mutation in NADPH oxidase, resulting in no reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated
- Leukocyte adhesion deficiency: caused by a mutation in β2 integrin, resulting in leukocytes' inability to move into tissues
