Mutation in the gene encoding the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) has been identified as the genetic defect responsible for WAS, an X-linked primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia, and recurrent infections. In this study, the WASP gene of 7 unrelated patie

Lymphocytes from patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) were studied 1) with prometaphase G banding to search for minor chromosome anomalies and 2) in mutagen stress assays to assess the extent of chromosome breakage under these conditions. One patient, a sporadic case of WAS, was found to hav
A case of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) suspected to have a deletion mutation in the WAS protein (WASP) gene had previously been reported (Ariga et al., 1997). Genomic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) suggested that exons 3-7 of the WASP gene were included in the deletion. Present Southern blot stud
Aniridia is an autosomal dominant panocular disorder, characterized by hypoplasia of the iris. It is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene. This gene encodes a 422-amino acid transcription factor. This protein includes paired and homeo domains, which bind DNA and a proline-serine and threonine-rich P
Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by a deficiency of coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO) caused by a mutation in the CPO gene. Only 11 mutations of the gene have been reported in HCP patients. We report another mutation in a Japanese family. Polymerase chain
