In 2 of these forms (deficiency of activation-induced cytidine deaminase [AID] or uracil DNA glycosylase [UNG]), serum IgM levels are much higher than in the X-linked form; lymphoid hyperplasia (including lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and tonsillar hypertrophy [msdmanuals.com]
Workup
Clinical Testing and Workup Blood tests will be ordered to determine the status of immunoglobulins in the blood, including normal or high levels of IgM and low levels of other immunoglobulin classes. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
[edit] In terms of treatment for hyper IgM syndrome, there is the use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. [en.wikipedia.org]
Gene therapy is also being investigated as a potential treatment for individuals with hyper IgM syndromes. More studies are needed and it’s still too early to tell if gene therapy could offer a viable treatment alternative. [chop.edu]
However, G-CSF treatment is only necessary in selected patients and long-term treatment with G-CSF is usually not recommended. [primaryimmune.org]

Because of the poor prognosis, the treatment of choice is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling bone marrow transplant at an early age (62,63). Treatment for this condition also includes monthly IVIG infusions (64). [lvts.fr]
While a permanent cure is anticipated after successful stem cell transplantation, the long-term prognosis for these patients is not yet known. [primaryimmune.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Frequency United States In 2003, the US XHIGM registry reported that the minimal incidence rate of XHIGM was approximately 1 in 1,000,000 live births from 1984-1993. [4] This may be an underestimation because not all physicians in the United [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
This results in an overproduction of IgM antibodies and an underproduction of IgA, IgG, and IgE.[13][7] Pathophysiology[edit] CD40 is a costimulatory receptor on B cells that, when bound to CD40 ligand (CD40L), sends a signal to the B-cell receptor.[14 [en.wikipedia.org]
