Definition

Immunodeficiency-99 with hypogammaglobulinemia and autoimmune cytopenias (IMD99) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder characterized by the onset of recurrent sinopulmonary infections in early childhood. Laboratory studies reveal hypogammaglobulinemia with decreased memory B cells that show impaired class-switch recombination (CSR) and decreased somatic hypermutation (SHM). Due to abnormal antibody production and impaired self-tolerance, patients may develop autoimmune cytopenias, such as thrombocytopenia, or autoimmune features, such as vitiligo. There are also defects in the T-cell compartment (Kuhny et al., 2020). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Growth delay
MedGen UID:
99124
Concept ID:
C0456070
Pathologic Function
A deficiency or slowing down of growth pre- and postnatally.
Recurrent sinopulmonary infections
MedGen UID:
339549
Concept ID:
C1846546
Finding
An increased susceptibility to infections involving both the paranasal sinuses and the lungs, as manifested by a history of recurrent sinopulmonary infections.
Lymphopenia
MedGen UID:
7418
Concept ID:
C0024312
Disease or Syndrome
A reduced number of lymphocytes in the blood.
Autoimmune thrombocytopenia
MedGen UID:
116621
Concept ID:
C0242584
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of thrombocytopenia in combination with detection of antiplatelet antibodies.
Lymphadenopathy
MedGen UID:
96929
Concept ID:
C0497156
Disease or Syndrome
Enlargement (swelling) of a lymph node.
Absent specific antibody response
MedGen UID:
354937
Concept ID:
C1863246
Finding
Absence of specific immunoglobulins directed against a specific antigen or microorganism.
Follicular hyperplasia
MedGen UID:
863170
Concept ID:
C4014733
Finding
Lymphadenopathy (enlargement of lymph nodes) owing to hyperplasia of follicular (germinal) centers.
Decreased circulating antibody concentration
MedGen UID:
892481
Concept ID:
C4048270
Finding
An abnormally decreased level of immunoglobulin in blood.
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.
Decreased proportion of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells
MedGen UID:
1688709
Concept ID:
C5139086
Finding
An abnormally decreased proportion of CD4-positive, CD25-positive, alpha-beta regulatory T cells in circulation, relative to another population of cells.
Vitiligo
MedGen UID:
22677
Concept ID:
C0042900
Disease or Syndrome
Generalized well circumscribed patches of leukoderma that are generally distributed over symmetric body locations and is due to autoimmune destruction of melanocytes.
