Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome

• Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare X-linked primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by the triad of eczema, microthrombocytopenia, and severe and often recurrent infections caused by mutation of WASp gene.

• WASp is involved in actin polymerization and associated coupling of receptor engagement, signaling events, and cytoskeletal rearrangement
• Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome

X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT)

Presents with mild eczema and/or infections, was recognized in the 1960s and was suspected to be a variant of WAS.Patients with XLT shown to have mutations in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein gene (WAS).

X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) should be suspected in a male with:

• Congenital thrombocytopenia (5,000-50,000 platelets/mm3)

• Small platelet size (platelet volume <7.5 fL)
• Absence of other clinical findings of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
• Family history of one or more maternally related males with a WAS-related phenotype or disorder
• Decreased or absent WASP by flow cytometry or western blotting
• Some affected individuals have near-normal amounts of WAS

WIP DEFICIENCY

(WIP)WISKOTT-ALDRICH-INTERACTING PROTEIN; gene :WIPF1 is located on 2q31.1 . lymphocytes, WASP is almost totally complexed with the WASP-interacting protein (WIP). A major function of WIP is to stabilize WASP and prevent its degradation. WASP protein levels, but not mRNA levels, are severely reduced in T cells *

ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA

• Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is an autosomal recessive characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, radiosensitivity, predisposition to lymphoid malignancies and immunodeficiency
• The ATM gene is related to a family of genes involved in cellular responses to DNA damage and/or cell cycle control with defects in both cellular and humoral immunity .
• ATM gene is located on 11q22.3.
• Diagnosis is usually achieved by pysical examination and identification of both ataxia and oculo-cutaneous telangiectasia,this is then followed by laboratory tests for low levels of IgA, IgG2, IgG4, and IgE
• They may also have a low lymphocyte count and other immunological abnormalities.
• This can then be followed by cytogenetic and molecular testing to confirm the diagnosis.
• MRI and CT scans may show signs of cerebellar atrophy.

BLOOM SYNDROME

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because Bloom syndrome (BLM), also referred to here as microcephaly, growth restriction, and increased sister chromatid exchange-1 (MGRISCE1), is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding DNA helicase RecQ protein-like-3 (RECQL3; 604610) on chromosome 15q26.
