Abstract

Although the majority of monogenic defects underlying primary immunodeficiency are microlesions, large lesions like large deletions are rare and constitute less than 10% of these patients. The immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) locus is one of the common regions for such genetic alterations. This study describes a rare case of autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia with a homozygous large deletion in chromosome 14q32.33 (106067756-106237742) immunoglobulin heavy chain clusters with an unusual and severe skin infection and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
