Absence or low individual and public risk
Immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects - what does this mean
Immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects is a condition in which the immune system is weakened due to a defect in a major organ system, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, or liver. this can lead to an increased risk of infection, as the body is unable to fight off foreign organisms.
What happens during the disease - immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects
Immunodeficiency associated with other specified major defects is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. these include mutations in genes that are important for the development and functioning of the immune system, such as t-cell receptor genes, as well as environmental exposures that can damage the immune system, such as toxins, radiation, and certain medications. these factors can lead to a decreased ability of the immune system to respond to infections, leading to increased susceptibility to infection and other complications.
