X-linked primary immunodeficiencies as a bridge to better understanding X-chromosome related autoimmunity.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies indicate that genes located on the X-chromosome play a major and unique role in autoimmunity. The fact that most X-linked primary immune deficiencies carry significant autoimmune manifestations greatly supports this notion. Autoimmunity and immune deficiency have been considered two opposite extremes resulting from immune dysregulation and failure of immune development and/or function,...
