Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome/X-Linked Thrombocytopenia: WASP Gene Mutations, Protein Expression, and Phenotype
1997-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT), caused by mutations of the WAS protein (WASP) gene, represent different phenotypes of the same disease. To demonstrate a phenotype/genotype correlation, we determined WASP gene mutations in 48 unrelated WAS families. Mutations included missense (20 families) and nonsense (eight) mutations located mostly in exons 1 to 4, and splice-site mutations (...
