Abstract excerpt
X-linked hyper-IgM (XHIM) syndrome is an immunological disorder resulting from mutations in the CD154 gene. Some mutations occur in splicing sites and result in transcripts encoding wild-type and mutant proteins. These mutants lack the tumor necrosis factor homologous (TNFH) domain and consequently fail to trimerize. Given that the TNFH domain is responsible for trimerization, one may predict that the TNFH mutant...
