Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome 2(WAS2)

MedGen UID:
482631
•Concept ID:
C3281001
•

Synonyms: WAS2; WIPF1 DEFICIENCY
 
Gene (location): WIPF1 (2q31.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013779
OMIM®: 614493

Definition

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome-2 (WAS2) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder characterized by onset of recurrent infections in infancy. Other features include thrombocytopenia with normal platelet volume and eczema. Laboratory studies show decreased CD8+ T cells, variably increased Ig, particularly IgE, low B cells, aberrant function of T and NK cells, and impaired T-cell migration. The cellular abnormalities are thought to result from defective F-actin polymerization. Death in early childhood may occur; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is curative (summary by Lanzi et al., 2012). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, see WAS (301000). [from OMIM]
