MHC class I deficiency [DS:H00984] Combined immunodeficiency [DS:H00093] Disorders of adaptive immunity [DS:H02526] Primary immunodeficiency disease [DS:H01725]
Description
Hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia is a disorder of endogenous catabolism of albumin and immunoglobulin. FcRn is a heterodimeric receptor composed of a nonclassical MHC class I alpha-chain and beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) that binds two ligands, IgG and albumin. It has been suggested that a mutation in B2M gene causes this disease.
