A rare, genetic endocrine disease characterized by the association of common variable immunodeficiency, manifesting with hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent or severe childhood-onset sinopulmonary infections, followed, possibly many years later, by symptomatic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency resulting from anterior pituitary hormone deficiency.
