Abstract
Our study revealed a high rate of immune defects in patients with dysmorphic disorders, both during the initial study and 2 to 3 years later, which may contribute to their increased susceptibility to infections. This association was most obvious in patients with Down syndrome and Turner syndrome. The findings should alert for early immunologic evaluation when such patients have infections.
