Abstract

In syndromic immunodeficiencies, clinical features not directly associated with the immune defect are prominent. Patients may present with either infectious complications or extra-immune medical issues. In addition to the immunologic abnormality, a wide range of organ systems may be affected. Patients may present with disturbances in skeletal, neurologic, dermatologic, or gastrointestinal function or development. These conditions can be caused by developmental abnormalities, chromosomal aberrations, metabolic disorders, or teratogens. For a number of these conditions, recent advances have resulted in an enhanced understanding of their genetic basis. The finding of immune deficits in a number of defined syndromes with congenital anomalies suggests that an underlying genetic syndrome should be considered in those patients in whom a significant non-immune feature is present.
