Immunodeficiency 81(IMD81)

MedGen UID:
1788669
Concept ID:
C5543540
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: IMD81; IMMUNODEFICIENCY 81
 
Gene (location): LCP2 (5q35.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030302
OMIM®: 619374

Definition

Immunodeficiency-81 (IMD81) is an autosomal recessive complex immunologic disorder with onset of symptoms in infancy. The phenotype is highly variable and may include both immunodeficiency with recurrent infections, including bacterial and fungal infections, as well as autoimmune features, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and inflammatory bowel disease. Immunologic workup shows immune dysregulation with abnormalities affecting multiple immune cell lineages, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, and neutrophils, which may be decreased or increased and demonstrate functional deficits. There is a wide range of hematologic abnormalities. Affected individuals may be susceptible to severe EBV infection. The disorder is caused by a defect in intracellular immune signaling pathways (summary by Lev et al., 2021; Edwards et al., 2023). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Impaired collagen-induced platelet aggregation
MedGen UID:
870264
Concept ID:
C4024703
Finding
Abnormal response to collagen or collagen-mimetics as manifested by reduced or lacking aggregation of platelets upon addition collagen or collagen-mimetics.
Abscess
MedGen UID:
1684
Concept ID:
C0000833
Disease or Syndrome
An abscess is a localized collection of purulent material surrounded by inflammation and granulation.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
MedGen UID:
1918
Concept ID:
C0002880
Disease or Syndrome
An autoimmune form of hemolytic anemia.
Immunodeficiency
MedGen UID:
7034
Concept ID:
C0021051
Disease or Syndrome
Failure of the immune system to protect the body adequately from infection, due to the absence or insufficiency of some component process or substance.
Recurrent infections
MedGen UID:
65998
Concept ID:
C0239998
Finding
Increased susceptibility to infections.
Reduced natural killer cell activity
MedGen UID:
333452
Concept ID:
C1839969
Finding
Reduced ability of the natural killer cell to function in the adaptive immune response.
Recurrent cutaneous abscess formation
MedGen UID:
867572
Concept ID:
C4021957
Finding
An increased susceptibility to cutaneous abscess formation, as manifested by a medical history of recurrent cutaneous abscesses.
Decreased proportion of class-switched memory B cells
MedGen UID:
892709
Concept ID:
C4072925
Finding
A reduction in the normal proportion of class-switched memory B cells (CD19+/CD27+/IgM+/IgD+) relative to the total number of B cells. Marginal zone B cells undergo limited somatic hypermutation and produce high-affinity IgM and some IgG, whereas class-switched memory B cells synthetize IgG, IgM, and IgA.
Impaired neutrophil chemotaxis
MedGen UID:
895851
Concept ID:
C4280709
Cell or Molecular Dysfunction
An impairment of the migration of neutrophils towards chemoattractants as part of the innate immune response
Abnormally low T cell receptor excision circle level
MedGen UID:
1611921
Concept ID:
C4531052
Finding
Reduced level of T cell receptor excision circle (TRECs) as measured by the TREC assay. Late in maturation, 70% of thymocytes that will ultimately express alpha/beta-T cell receptors form a circular DNA TREC from the excised TCRdelta gene that lies within the TCRalpha genetic locus. The circles are stable but do not increase following cell division and, therefore, become diluted as T cells proliferate. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction across the joint of the circular DNA provides the TREC copy number, a marker of newly-formed, antigenically-naïve thymic emigrant T cells.
Reduced antigen-specific T cell proliferation
MedGen UID:
1621145
Concept ID:
C4531148
Finding
Impaired proliferation and expansion of a T cell population following activation by an antigenic stimulus.
Decreased proportion of CD4-positive T cells
MedGen UID:
1698933
Concept ID:
C5139203
Finding
A reduction in the proportion of CD4-positive T cells relative to the total number of T cells.
Skin rash
MedGen UID:
1830322
Concept ID:
C5779628
Sign or Symptom
A red eruption of the skin.
Petechiae
MedGen UID:
10680
Concept ID:
C0031256
Disease or Syndrome
Petechiae are pinpoint-sized reddish/purple spots, resembling a rash, that appear just under the skin or a mucous membrane when capillaries have ruptured and some superficial bleeding into the skin has happened. This term refers to an abnormally increased susceptibility to developing petechiae.
Reduced reactive oxygen species production in neutrophils
MedGen UID:
1698992
Concept ID:
C5139101
Cell or Molecular Dysfunction
An abnormal reduction in the amount of reactive oxygen produced by neutrophils in the respiratory burst.
