Disease

UNG_HUMAN Defects in UNG are a cause of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM type 5 (HIGM5) [MIM:608106. A rare immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM levels with absence of IgG, IgA, and IgE. It results in a profound susceptibility to bacterial infections.^[1] ^[2]

Function

UNG_HUMAN Excises uracil residues from the DNA which can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or due to deamination of cytosine.
