Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding CD40 ligand have been shown to be the cause of X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia with hyper IgM (HIGM1). We have used the technique of single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis to screen for mutations in this gene in affected boys from nineteen unrelated families. Sixteen novel mutations were identified in patients, comprising six patients with single base...
