OBJECTIVE: Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), a metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, is usually associated with impaired cellular immunity. This study evaluates humoral immunity in patients with CHH.
METHODS: The concentrations of immunoglobulins G, A, and M (IgG, IgA, and IgM) and IgG subclasses were studied in 20 patients. Data for 5 additional patients with recurrent infections were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS: Seven of the prospectively evaluated patients (35%) had defective humoral immunity. Three patients had IgA deficiency. Four patients had IgG2 deficiency, accompanied by IgA deficiency, IgG4 deficiency, or both in 3 patients. IgG4 was low in most patients. Increased infections were usually associated with supranormal IgG and IgG1 and subnormal IgA, IgG2, or IgG4 concentrations. One retrospectively reviewed patient had severe hypogammaglobulinemia, and 3 had multiple IgG subclass deficiencies.
CONCLUSIONS: Humoral immunity is impaired in CHH and contributes to the increased susceptibility to infections.
