The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an immune deficiency disorder with an impairment of both humoral and cellular immune responses. Metabolic turnover studies of IgG, IgA, IgM, and albumin were conducted in seven patients with the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome using purified radioiodinated proteins. The survival of each of the proteins studied was significantly shortened with a half-time of 7.5 days for...

This article discusses the role of electron microscopy in diagnosis and study morphological changes that cause platelet structural abnormalities a variety congenital diseases. Morphological can be divided into cytoskeleton, alpha dense granules, membrane abnormalities. Our paper describes ultrastructural defects Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome, MYH9-associated syndromes, gray Hermansky–Pudlak Paris–Tr...

Introduction Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare X-linked disorder which, in its fully expressed form, is recognised by the clinical triad of combined immune deficiency, thrombocytopenia, and eczema.' An increased risk of malignancy has also been reported, with an incidence of about 12% in some series and susceptibility, in particular, to acute leukaemia, lymphoma, and solid tumours of the centr...

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and various degrees of immune deficiency. Carriers of mutated WASP have nonrandom X chromosome inactivation in their blood cells and are disease-free. We report data on a 14-month-old girl with a history of WAS in her family who presented with thrombocytopenia, small platelets, and immunologic dysfu...
