概要 |
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare X-linked recessive immunodeficiency disorder, caused by mutations in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) gene, and characterised by thrombocytopenia, small platelets, eczema, and recurrent infections associated with increased risk of autoimmunity and malignancy disorders. Recent research suggested that the WIPF1-encoded protein WIP binds to the region of WASP which is frequently mutated in patients with this disease, and WIP mutations themselves lead to an immunological disorder resembling Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
