| Description | HyperIgM syndrome is a heterogenous immunodeficiency characterized by impaired class-switch recombination due to different molecular abnormalities. We report on two female patients affected by a novel syndrome associating HIGM, growth and pubertal disturbances, and severe lymphoid hyperplasia with eventual development into lymphomas, suggesting a DNA repair defect. |
