MedGen UID:
1717128
Concept ID:
C5394265
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: IMD66; IMMUNODEFICIENCY 66
 
Gene (location): MRTFA (22q13.1-13.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030013
OMIM®: 618847

Definition

Immunodeficiency-66 (IMD66) is an autosomal recessive primary immune disorder caused by defective immune cell migration and chemotaxis resulting from defects in cytoskeletal actin dynamics. Neutrophils are primarily affected, although there may be defects in dendritic cells and T and B cells. The phenotype is characterized by onset of recurrent bacterial infections in infancy. Laboratory studies show normal levels of myeloid and lymphoid cells, but there may be mild thrombocytopenia (summary by Record et al., 2015). [from OMIM]
