Mosaicism of NK cells in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
Rare cases of somatic mosaicism resulting from reversion of inherited mutations can lead to the attenuation of blood-cell disorders, including Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). The impact of the revertant hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells, particularly their representation in blood-cell populations, is of interest because it predicts the outcome of gene therapy. Here we report an 8-year-old ...
متن کاملLarge granular lymphocyte proliferation and revertant mosaicism: two rare events in a Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome patient.
We report on a 6 year old patient with an unusual clinical presentation of WAS and oligoclonal proliferation of TCR+ large granular lymphocytes (LGL). Flow cytometry demonstrated two distinct populations of lymphocytes with strongly decreased (WASP-) or normal expression levels of WASP (WASP+), respectively. Molecular analysis confirmed a splice site mutation in intron 2 of the WASP gene in the...

متن کاملWiskott-Aldrich syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia.
BACKGROUND Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare X-linked immunodeficiency disorder with a variable phenotype. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 3.5-year-old boy diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. OBSERVATION Unusual and persistent thrombocytopenia with increased platelet volume (>10fL). He did not exhibit characteristic clinical and laboratory finding for the syndrome. OUTCOME Maternally inherited...
متن کاملMultiple patients with revertant mosaicism in a single Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome family.
We previously reported on a 43-year-old patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) who experienced progressive clinical improvement and revertant T-cell mosaicism. Deletion of the disease-causing 6-bp insertion was hypothesized to have occurred by DNA polymerase slippage. We now describe 2 additional patients from the same family who also had revertant T lymphocytes that showed selective in vi...
