Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by heterogeneous mutations within the gene encoding the common beta subunit (CD18) of the three leukocyte integrins LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18), and p150,95 (CD11c/CD18). Based on the level of expression of CD18 on patient leukocytes, two phenotypes of LAD have been defined (severe and moderate) which correlate with the...
