Primary immunodeficiency with post-measles-mumps-rubella vaccine viral infection(IMD44)

MedGen UID:
904009
Concept ID:
C4225260
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Immunodeficiency 44
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
 
Gene (location): STAT2 (12q13.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0014715
OMIM®: 616636
Orphanet: ORPHA431166

Definition

Immunodeficiency-44 (IMD44) is an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to viral infections and adverse multisystemic reaction to vaccination in some patients. Affected individuals appear to have defects in mitochondrial fission and fusion (summary by Shahni et al., 2015). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Encephalopathy
MedGen UID:
39314
Concept ID:
C0085584
Disease or Syndrome
Encephalopathy is a term that means brain disease, damage, or malfunction. In general, encephalopathy is manifested by an altered mental state.
Elevated CSF neopterin level
MedGen UID:
893002
Concept ID:
C4073152
Finding
Increased concentration of neopterin in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Lymphopenia
MedGen UID:
7418
Concept ID:
C0024312
Disease or Syndrome
A reduced number of lymphocytes in the blood.
Decreased circulating IgA level
MedGen UID:
57934
Concept ID:
C0162538
Disease or Syndrome
Decreased levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Decreased circulating total IgM
MedGen UID:
116095
Concept ID:
C0239989
Finding
An abnormally decreased level of immunoglobulin M (IgM) in blood.
Severe viral infection
MedGen UID:
479058
Concept ID:
C3277428
Finding
An unusually severe viral infection.
Post-vaccination measles
MedGen UID:
1688337
Concept ID:
C5139071
Disease or Syndrome
Infection with the measles virus of the live-attenuated vaccine. This is an extremely rare event and may indicate immunocompromise in some cases.
Abnormal circulating IgG level
MedGen UID:
1687987
Concept ID:
C5139422
Finding
An abnormal deviation from normal levels of IgG immunoglobulin in blood.
Elevated circulating alanine aminotransferase concentration
MedGen UID:
57740
Concept ID:
C0151905
Finding
An abnormally high concentration in the circulation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
Increased circulating lactate concentration
MedGen UID:
332209
Concept ID:
C1836440
Finding
Abnormally increased level of blood lactate (2-hydroxypropanoic acid). Lactate is produced from pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase during normal metabolism. The terms lactate and lactic acid are often used interchangeably but lactate (the component measured in blood) is strictly a weak base whereas lactic acid is the corresponding acid. Lactic acidosis is often used clinically to describe elevated lactate but should be reserved for cases where there is a corresponding acidosis (pH below 7.35).
