Key Highlights:
- Most WHIM syndrome patients were estimated in the US, followed by EU4 and the UK.
- In 2022, the total number of diagnosed patients with WHIM syndrome in the 7MM was 174. These are expected to surge due to increased awareness and diagnostic techniques during the forecast period (2023-2032).
- Females were estimated to be affected more with WHIM Syndrome as compared to men in the 7MM.
- Age-specific cases of WHIM Syndrome were divided into less than 18 years and 18 years and above, with 91 and 83 cases in the 7MM in 2022, respectively.

WHIM syndrome Disease Understanding:
WHIM syndrome Overview
WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) syndrome is an ultrarare and difficult-to-diagnose primary immunodeficiency disease. In almost all patients of WHIM syndrome, the disease is caused by "gain-of-function" mutations in the single gene that encodes for the CXCR4 receptor.
WHIM syndrome is a congenital immune deficiency with characteristic clinical features that include: susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection-induced warts, condyloma acuminata, and carcinomas; neutropenia, B-cell lymphopenia, and hypogammaglobulinemia related recurrent infections; and bone marrow myelokathexis characterized by myeloid hyperplasia and apoptosis.
WHIM syndrome Diagnosis
WHIM syndrome is diagnosed by clinical findings like neutropenia, recurrent infections, warts, lymphopenia, bone marrow biopsy (myelokathexis), and CXCR4 gene mutation. However, in real-time clinical practice, timely and accurate diagnosis of WHIM syndrome is challenging, given the heterogeneity and specific nature of the clinical presentation of the disease.

WHIM syndrome Epidemiology
As the market is derived using a patient-based model, the WHIM Syndrome epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total diagnosed prevalent cases of WHIM Syndrome, Gender-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of WHIM Syndrome, and Age-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of WHIM Syndrome in the 7MM covering, the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), United Kingdom, and Japan from 2019 to 2032.
- There were 174 diagnosed prevalent cases of WHIM Syndrome estimated to have occurred in the 7MM in 2022, of which 117 of the accounted cases were estimated to be from the US alone, and these cases are anticipated to increase during the forecast period.
- Among EU4 and the UK, France had the highest number of cases, while Spain reported the lowest patient number in 2022.
- The diagnosed prevalent cases were further divided into gender-specific cases. Male and female patients were 69 and 105 cases, respectively, in the 7MM in 2022.
- The age-specific cases of WHIM Syndrome were categorized into less than 18 years and 18 years and above, with 91 and 83 cases in the 7MM in 2022.
