Overview
Natural kill (NK) cells deficiency is a rare condition characterized by either the deficiency, absence, or malfunction of NK cells, without the involvement of other types of immunological abnormalities and in the absence of secondary etiologies such as medications or viral infections.[1] NK cell deficiency is considered a type of immunosuppression.
Classification
- Classical NK cell deficiency (CNKD): Absence of NK cells in the peripheral blood
- CKND subtype 1
- CKND subtype 2
- Functional NK cell deficiency (FNKD): Presence of NK cells in the peripheral blood but with abnormal function
- FKND subtype 1[1]
Causes
Genes
- GATA2 (CNKD1)
- MCM4 (CNKD2)
- FCGR3A (FNKD1)[1]
