Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a key transcription factor that regulates both innate and adaptive immunity as well as ectodermal development. Mutations in the coding region of the IkappaB kinase gamma/NF-kappaB essential modifier (NEMO) gene cause X-linked ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency. OBJECTIVE: To determine the genetic cause of recurrent sinopulmonary infections and...
