Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To analyse the gene encoding the CD40 ligand (CD40L) in 11 Australian patients from 10 unrelated families with the X linked hyper-IgM (XHIM) phenotype. METHODS: The CD40L gene was screened for mutations using direct sequencing of exon specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. RESULTS: Ten mutations were identified. Seven of these mutations have been described previously, whereas three new nonsense...
