Abstract excerpt
Hyper-IgM syndromes (HIGM) are characterized by low levels of IgG, IgA and IgE and normal to high levels of IgM. Patients with these syndromes present recurrent infections due to an impaired immunoglobulin maturation. The most prevalent form of HIGM, X-linked hyper IgM syndrome (XHIM), is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CD40 ligand (CD40LG). We present two siblings with XHIM caused by a large CD40LG...
