Article Abstract
Two patients with the X-linked form of the hyper-IgM syndrome have been studied. Both patients present: 1. Mutations in the CD40L gene (a nonsense point mutation that introduces a termination codon at the extracellular domain of the protein, and a deletion that eliminates exon 4 as consequence of an abnormal splicing). 2. Lack of CD40L expression on the lymphocyte surface after stimulation with ionomycin and PMA. 3. Altered lymphocytic proliferation in response to anti-CD3. 4. Hyper IgM, low IgG and IgA levels and neutropenia. One of the patients shows, in addition, low Natural Killer cell numbers and severe herpetic infections, which distinguishes this case from the common hyper-IgM syndrome phenotype. Finally, a hyper-IgM stable phenotype has been immortalized by Herpes virus Saimiri for the first time.

Immune dysregulation in children can lead to a variety of health issues, including infections, allergies and autoimmune diseases. However, the coexistence of autoimmune diseases and primary immunodeficiency disorders is extremely rare in clinical practice. A 4-year-old male patient was admitted in July 2017 with joint swelling and pain, alongside a history of recurrent respiratory infections and severe pneumonia.

At present, there is a lack of detailed understanding and research on the pathogenesis and treatment of Hyperimmunoglobulin M syndrome (HIGM), Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES), and hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome (HIDS), and few studies have been conducted to correlate the pathogenesis and treatment of the three disorders. The existing studies are rarely related to the three diseases. We searched PubMed for a large number of relevant literature and analyzed and summarized the contents.

DNA-deaminase AID plays a pivotal role in adaptive immunity, antibody diversification and epigenetic regulation. AID catalyzes cytidine deamination in immunoglobulin genes, facilitating somatic hypermutation (SHM), class-switch recombination (CSR) and gene conversion (GC). However, the dysregulation of AID activity can lead to oncogenic mutations and immune disorders such as hyper-IgM syndrome type 2 (HIGM2).

Dysfunctional inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) kinase regulatory subunit gamma () is known to trigger incontinentia pigmenti (IP), anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID), immunodeficiency (ID), and deleted exon 5 autoinflammatory syndrome (NDAS). The correlation between genotype and phenotype remains elusive because of the considerable variability in genes. This study aimed to systematically describe gene mutations and clinical characteristics.

In children, hyper-IgM syndrome type 1 (HIGM1) is a type of severe antibody disorder, the pathogenesis of which remains unclear. The antibody diversity is partially determined by the alternative splicing (AS) in the germline, which is mainly regulated by RNA-binding proteins, including Breast cancer amplified sequence 2 (Bcas2). However, the effect of Bcas2 on AS and antibody production in activated B cells, the main immune cell type in the germline, remains unknown.
