Abstract excerpt
Several molecules (LYST, AP3, RAB27A, STX11, STXBP2, MUNC13-4, and PRF1) have been associated with the function of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Biallelic defects in all of these molecules have been associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL). We retrospectively reviewed the genetic and immunology test results from 2701 patients with a clinically suspected diagnosis of hemophagocytic...
