Selected immunologic functions were assessed in 14 patients with the Shwachman syndrome. Nine patients were neutropenic and 4 had low levels of Ig[immunoglobulin]A or IgM. Neutrophil mobility was significantly defective in the group of patients as a whole (in 12 it was below the lower limit of normal) and in their parents. No other consistent abnormality in immunity was found. The defective neutrophil mobility is a feature of Shwachman syndrome which may contribute to the vulnerability of these patients to frequent infections. The defect appears to be a primary genetic one, inherited as an autosomal recessive characteristic consistent with the assumed inheritance of Shwachman syndrome.
