DAVID syndrome, short for deficient anterior pituitary with variable immune deficiency syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency combined with common variable immunodeficiency and hypogammaglobulinemia, which is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the NFKB2 gene.
Common variable immunodeficiency; Specialty: Immunology : Symptoms: Hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent opportunistic infections, fatigue: Complications: Autoimmune manifestations; increased risk of malignancies such as gastric carcinomas, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; lymphocytic infiltration of tissues; nodular regenerative hyperplasia; enteropathy
Adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome is a type of immunodeficiency. It is linked to vulnerability to disseminated infections brought on by opportunistic pathogens. People with this condition have increased levels of anti-interferon-gamma autoantibodies. These particular immune system proteins mistakenly target an individual's own tissues.
Imerslund–Gräsbeck syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive, familial form of vitamin B12 deficiency caused by malfunction of the "Cubam" receptor located in the terminal ileum. This receptor is composed of two proteins, amnionless (AMN), and cubilin. A defect in either of these protein components can cause this syndrome.
PI3kinase. The pathophysiology of activated PI3K delta syndrome has several aspects. [2] The normal function has P110δ (PI3K) involved in immune system regulation. [9]P110δ effect is not limited to the immune system; P110δ has a presence in transformed epithelial cells and cell adhesion molecules (airway inflammation), and research has been done on the possibility of P110δ in the nervous ...
DOCK8 deficiency, also called DOCK8 immunodeficiency syndrome, is the autosomal recessive form of hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by elevated immunoglobulin E levels, eosinophilia, and recurrent infections with staphylococcus and viruses. It is caused by a mutation in the DOCK8 gene.
Nuclear factor-kappa B Essential Modulator (NEMO) deficiency syndrome is a rare type of primary immunodeficiency disease that has a highly variable set of symptoms and prognoses. It mainly affects the skin and immune system but has the potential to affect all parts of the body, including the lungs , urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract . [ 1 ]
Evans syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which an individual's immune system attacks their own red blood cells and platelets, the syndrome can include immune neutropenia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These immune cytopenias may occur simultaneously or sequentially.
