1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia, and immunodeficiency. An allelic variant of the disease is characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia (XLT). The gene responsible for WAS/XLT (WASP) encodes for a 502 amino acid protein (WASP) that is possibly involved in actin binding and cytoskeleton organization. The expression of WASP and the...
