Abstract

A family study was performed in order to diagnose X‐linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease in a fetus. The molecular genetic analysis indicated that the fetus, as well as its healthy 7‐year‐old brother, inherited XLP. Analysis of immunoglobulin subclasses from the 7‐year‐old brother supported the DNA‐based diagnosis. This is the first XLP family of African descent. Β© 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
