A rare, genetic, non-severe combined immunodeficiency disorder characterized by variable B- and T-cell defects (including defective B-cell differentiation and impaired T-cell proliferation to mitogens and bacterial antigens) and natural killer cell dysfunction (ranging from impaired cytotoxicity to lymphopenia) due to IL21R deficiency, manifesting with recurrent respiratory and/or gastrointestinal tract infections and, in some cases, with severe, chronic, progressive cholangitis and liver cirrhosis associated with cryptosporidial infection.
