Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome 5, autosomal recessive(HIES5)

MedGen UID:
1716052
•Concept ID:
C5394550
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: HYPER-IgE SYNDROME 5, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE, WITH RECURRENT INFECTIONS
 
Gene (location): IL6R (1q21.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030069
OMIM®: 618944

Definition

Hyper-IgE syndrome-5 with recurrent infections (HEIS5) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder characterized by onset of recurrent sinopulmonary and deep skin infections in early childhood. The infections are mostly caused by bacteria, including H. influenza and Staphylococcus aureus. Additional features include atopic dermatitis, impaired inflammatory responses during infection, increased serum IgE, and increased IL6 (147620) (summary by Spencer et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hyper-IgE syndrome, see HIES1 (147060). [from OMIM]

•Concept ID:
C0011615
•
Disease or Syndrome
Atopic dermatitis (ATOD), also known as eczema, is a common chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease with a strong genetic component. Onset typically occurs during the first 2 years of life (review by Soderhall et al., 2007). Genetic Heterogeneity of Atopic Dermatitis Many inflammatory diseases, such as atopic eczema, are genetically complex, with multiple alleles at several loci thought to be involved in their pathogenesis. Several susceptibility loci for atopic dermatitis have been identified: ATOD1 on chromosome 3q21, ATOD2 (605803) on chromosome 1q21, ATOD3 (605804) on chromosome 20p, ATOD4 (605805) on chromosome 17q25.3, ATOD5 (603165) on chromosome 13q12-q14, ATOD6 (605845) on chromosome 5q31-q33, ATOD7 (613064) on chromosome 11q13.5, ATOD8 (613518) on chromosome 4q22.1, and ATOD9 (613519) on chromosome 3p24.
