Nijmegen breakage syndrome

Nijmegen breakage syndrome is a rare genetic disease presenting at birth with microcephaly, dysmorphic facial features, becoming more noticeable with age, growth delay, and later-onset complications such as malignancies and infections.

Immunodeficiency

Failure of the immune system to protect the body adequately from infection, due to the absence or insufficiency of some component process or substance.
