OMIM®: 254600
Orphanet: ORPHA2587

Definition

A rare primary immunodeficiency due to a defect in innate immunity characterized by a marked decrease or absence of myeloperoxidase activity in neutrophils and monocytes. Clinically, most patients are asymptomatic. Occasionally, severe infectious complications may occur, particularly recurrent candida infections, being especially severe in the setting of comorbid diabetes mellitus. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Abnormality of blood and blood-forming tissues
MedGen UID:
163092
Concept ID:
C0850715
Finding
An abnormality of the hematopoietic system.
Abnormality of the immune system
MedGen UID:
867388
Concept ID:
C4021753
Pathologic Function
An abnormality of the immune system.
Diminished neutrophil myeloperoxidase activity
MedGen UID:
1052532
Concept ID:
CN377344
Finding
Activity of the enzyme myeloperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) in neutrophils below the lower limit of normal. This feature can be measured by peroxidase cytochemistry or biochemical assays. Myeloperoxidase is a lysosomal hemoprotein located in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes.
Abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis
MedGen UID:
867398
Concept ID:
C4021768
Finding
Reduced neutrophil myeloperoxidase activity
MedGen UID:
1053720
Concept ID:
CN376971
Finding
Concentration or activity of myeloperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) as measured in neutrophils is below the limits of normal.
