Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome

This syndrome is a severe form of dyskeratosis congenita with poor growth inside the womb, microcephaly (small head), and pancytopenia (low numbers of all blood cells).

Good's syndrome

Good's syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency in adults that results in recurrent infections, low immunoglobulins, and thymic tumors.

Antibody deficiency with normal or elevated immunoglobulins

Some individuals who have recurrent or severe infections have normal or high immunoglobulin levels but do not produce antibodies to either protein or polysaccharide vaccine antigens.

Immunoglobulin heavy chain deficiencies

People with deletions of multiple genes in the immunoglobulin heavy chain region can be asymptomatic or can exhibit susceptibility to infections.

Kappa light chain deficiency

Kappa light chain deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive antibody deficiency.

Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency

Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) describes several disorders that lead to childhood-onset cancer. CMMRD caused by variants in the PMS2 gene also leads to immune deficiency.

Transcobalamin II deficiency

Transcobalamin II deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive type of primary immunodeficiency.
