XLP: clinical features and molecular etiology due to mutations in SH2D1A encoding SAP.

Abstract excerpt

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a rare primary immunodeficiency affecting approximately 1-2 per 1 million males. A key feature of XLP is the exquisite sensitivity of affected individuals to disease induced following EBV infection. However, patients can also develop hypogammaglobulinemia and B-cell lymphoma independently of exposure to EBV. XLP is caused by loss-of function mutations in SH2D1A, which...
