DISEASE: T-cell immunodeficiency congenital alopecia and nail dystrophy

Entry

H01181                      Disease

Name

T-cell immunodeficiency congenital alopecia and nail dystrophy

Description

T-cell immunodeficiency congenital alopecia and nail dystrophy (TIDAND) is a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome caused by a mutation in FOXN1 gene encoding a transcription factor selectively expressed in thymic epithelia and skin. SCIDs are disorders of both cell-mediated and humoral immunity, characterized by high susceptibility to develop severe and sometimes fatal infections. TIDAND is the only human SCID caused by an intrinsic abnormality of the epithelial component of the thymus. The disease is always associated with a profound T-cell defect.
