DISEASE: Immunodysregulation with variable immunodeficiency and autoimmunity
Entry
H02958 Disease
Name
Immunodysregulation with variable immunodeficiency and autoimmunity
Description
Immunodysregulation with variable immunodeficiency and autoimmunity (IMDIA) is a combined immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent upper respiratory infections, thrush and mucosal ulcers, and chronic lymphadenopathy. Affected individuals displayed a profound reduction in circulating MAIT cell numbers. It has been reported that mutations in IKZF2 cause this disease. IKZF2 encodes the zinc-finger protein Helios, which can act both as an activator and repressor of transcription. Helios is a member of the Ikaros family of transcription factors with pivotal roles in T-follicular helper, NK- and T-regulatory cell physiology.
