Immunodeficiency associated with DNA repair defects [DS:H00094] Disorders of adaptive immunity [DS:H02526] Primary immunodeficiency disease [DS:H01725]
Description
LIG4 syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the LIG4 gene which encodes DNA ligase IV. The clinical phenotype closely resembles that of Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), and is characterized by microcephaly, characteristic facial features, growth retardation, developmental delay, and immunodeficiency.
