Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze mutations in DNA from patients with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), an immunodeficiency caused by absence of the beta(2) subunit (CD18) of the leukocyte integrins LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18), p150,95 (CD11c/CD18), and CR4 (CD11d/CD18). METHODS: We developed genomic DNA PCR sequencing to detect mutations not only in exons but also in introns. RESULTS:...
