What is another word for gamma Chain Disease?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈamə t͡ʃˈe͡ɪn dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
Gamma chain disease, also known as gamma heavy chain disease, belongs to a rare group of immunoglobulin disorders. It is characterized by the excessive production of abnormal gamma chains in the immunoglobulin molecule, resulting in the formation of dysregulated monoclonal immunoglobulins. Although referred to by different names such as heavy chain disease or Franklin disease, all these synonyms essentially denote the same condition. Gamma chain disease primarily affects plasma cells, leading to production of structurally faulty immunoglobulins, causing a wide spectrum of symptoms including fatigue, weight loss, and lymph node enlargement. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are pivotal in addressing this rare disorder effectively.
