C4748694
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: IMD15A; IMMUNODEFICIENCY 15A

Definition

Immunodeficiency 15A (IMD15A) is an autosomal dominant primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by relatively late onset of recurrent respiratory tract infections and lymphopenia, combined with immune activation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. One patient presented with inflammatory disease and possible ectodermal defect. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Recurrent sinusitis
MedGen UID:
107919
Concept ID:
C0581354
Disease or Syndrome
A recurrent form of sinusitis.
Recurrent respiratory infections
MedGen UID:
812812
Concept ID:
C3806482
Finding
An increased susceptibility to respiratory infections as manifested by a history of recurrent respiratory infections.
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis
MedGen UID:
2426
Concept ID:
C0006845
Disease or Syndrome
Recurrent or persistent superficial Candida infections of the skin, mucous membranes, and nails.
Cutaneous abscess
MedGen UID:
450991
Concept ID:
C0149777
Pathologic Function
A circumscribed area of pus or necrotic debris in the skin.
Acne inversa
MedGen UID:
57993
Concept ID:
C0162836
Disease or Syndrome
A chronic skin condition involving the inflammation of the apocrine sweat glands, forming pimple-like bumps known as abscesses.
Recurrent otitis media
MedGen UID:
155436
Concept ID:
C0747085
Disease or Syndrome
Increased susceptibility to otitis media, as manifested by recurrent episodes of otitis media.
Decreased proportion of CD8-positive T cells
MedGen UID:
374188
Concept ID:
C1839305
Finding
A decreased proportion of circulating CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cells relative to total number of T cells.
Decreased proportion of memory B cells
MedGen UID:
893145
Concept ID:
C4072913
Finding
A reduction in the normal proportion of memory B cells (CD19+/CD27+) in circulation relative to the total number of B cells. Memory B cells develop from naive B cells. Upon antigen rechallenge, memory B cells rapidly expand and differentiate into plasma cells under the cognate control of memory Th cells (Phase IV).
Decreased proportion of CD4-positive helper T cells
MedGen UID:
1719772
Concept ID:
C5235140
Finding
A decreased proportion of circulating CD4-positive helper T cells relative to total T cell count.
