Summary of Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome
Job syndrome, or autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome is a result of a STAT3 mutation. A deficiency of Th17 cells causes impaired recruitment of neutrophils to sites of infection, leading to coarse facies, non-inflamed staphylococcal abscess, retained primary teeth, and eczema.
