Linkage of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) type-4 to chromosome 6q24 and identification of mutations in syntaxin 11
27 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperactive phagocytes and defects in natural killer cell function. It has been shown previously that mutations in the perforin 1 gene (PRF1) and in UNC13D are associated with FHL2 and FHL3, respectively, indicating genetic heterogeneity. We performed genome-wide homozygosity mapping in a large consanguineous...
