Abstract excerpt
We describe a family with the rare mutation R11X that leads to a truncated CD40 ligand (CD40L) missing the intracellular domain.

A brother and two nephews were also identified as having the same mutation but exhibited milder and variable phenotypes. The older affected nephew had a moderately depressed...
