CD27 deficiency
Autosomal recessive
Caused by changes in CD27, it leads to persistent EBV infection, overgrowth of lymphocytes and a risk of lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
What a diagnosis changes
Monitoring for EBV and lymphoma allows early treatment, and a stem cell transplant may be considered.
