DAVID syndrome, short for deficient anterior pituitary with variable immune deficiency syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency combined with common variable immunodeficiency and hypogammaglobulinemia, which is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the NFKB2 gene.[1][2][3] It is also known to lead to symptomatic hypoglycemia.[4]
