Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS): A Case Report in Mauritius and Review
Wiskott-Aldrich is an X-lined recessive disorder typically characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and recurrent infections. We report the four year treatment progress of a six year old boy who initially presented with vesicular lesions over the trunk, upper and lower extremities and face and blood tinged stools at the age of 2 weeks. From the family pedigree, there were two suspected cases t...
متن کاملMechanisms of WASp-mediated hematologic and immunologic disease.
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a key regulator of actin polymerization in hematopoietic cells. The dynamic nature of cytoskeletal changes during a variety of cellular processes demands complex mechanisms for coordinated integration of input signals, precise localization within the cell, and regulated activation of the Arp2/3 complex. Mutations in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome gen...
متن کاملWiskott-Aldrich syndrome iPS cells produce megakaryocytes with defects in cytoskeletal rearrangement and proplatelet formation.
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterised by microthrombocytopenia, complex immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and haematologic malignancies. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding WAS protein (WASP), a regulator of actin cytoskeleton and chromatin structure in various blood cell lineages. The molecular mechanisms underlying microthrombocytopenia caused...
متن کاملDisease mechanism: Unravelling Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome
The gene responsible for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a disease affecting platelets and lymphocytes, has been cloned and its protein product (WASp) found to interact with the GTPase Cdc42. WASp seems to provide a link between Cdc42 and the actin cytoskeleton, perhaps explaining the cellular defects underlying the disease.
متن کاملBee1, a Yeast Protein with Homology to Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein, Is Critical for the Assembly of Cortical Actin Cytoskeleton
Yeast protein, Bee1, exhibits sequence homology to Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), a human protein that may link signaling pathways to the actin cytoskeleton. Mutations in WASP are the primary cause of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, characterized by immuno-deficiencies and defects in blood cell morphogenesis. This report describes the characterization of Bee1 protein function in budding yea...
