Abstract excerpt
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (familial HLH or FHL) is a potentially fatal autosomal recessive disorder. Our previous study demonstrated that UNC13D mutations (FHL3) account for ~90 % of FHL in Korea with recurrent splicing mutation c.754-1G>C (IVS9-1G>C). Notably, half of the FHL3 patients had a monoallelic mutation of UNC13D. Deep intronic mutations in UNC13D were recently reported in patients of...
