Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis type 2 (FHL2) results from mutations in PRF1. We described two unrelated individuals who presented with FHL, in whom severely impaired NK cytotoxicity and decrease perforin expression was observed. DNA sequencing of PRF1 demonstrated that both were not only heterozygous for the p.54R > C/91A > V haplotype but also presented with the novel variant p.47G > V at the...
