267500 | OMIM | Reticular dysgenesis (RDYS) | A fatal form of severe combined immunodeficiency, characterized by absence of granulocytes, almost complete deficiency of lymphocytes in peripheral blood, hypoplasia of the thymus and secondary lymphoid organs, and lack of innate and adaptive humoral and cellular immunity, leading to fatal septicemia within days after birth. In bone marrow of individuals with reticular dysgenesis, myeloid differentiation is blocked at the promyelocytic stage, whereas erythro- and megakaryocytic maturation is generally normal. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
