In medicine, immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies syndrome (ICF syndrome) is a very rare recessive autosomal disorder. It is characterized by a mutation in the DNA-methyltransferase-3b (Dnmt3b) gene.
It is characterized by variable reductions in serum immunoglobulin levels which cause most ICF patients to succumb to infectious diseases before adulthood. ICF syndrome patients exhibit facial anomalies which include hypertelorism, low-set ears, epicanthal folds and macroglossia.
