Description
Affected individuals usually present in infancy or early childhood with increased susceptibility to infections, often Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as well as with enteropathy, lymphadenopathy or autoimmune manifestations, predominantly hemolytic anemia. Cardiomyopathy has also been described. Laboratory studies may show mild CD4 and CD8 lymphopenia and low or normal B cell numbers. The disorder results primarily from defects in T-reg function, which causes both immunodeficiency and overall immune dysregulation.
