Abstract excerpt
X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM (HIGM1) is a rare disorder, characterized by recurrent infections associated with very low or absent IgG and IgA, and normal to increased IgM serum levels. The disease has been earlier mapped to the q26-27 region of the X-chromosome. We have identified a n...
