immunodeficiency with elevated IgM
immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM a rare syndrome characterized by elevated immunoglobulin M levels and decreased levels of G and A immunoglobulins, associated with recurrent pyogenic infections, and possibly caused by failure of IgM-producing cells to switch to production of IgC and IgA. Most cases appear to exhibit X-linked recessive inheritance.
