Stem-cell gene therapy for the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a complex primary immunodeficiency disorder that is characterized by recurrent infections, thrombocytopenia, eczema, and autoimmunity1,2 and caused by mutations in WAS.3 Its gene product, WAS protein (WASP), is a key regulator of actin polymerization in hematopo...

| Summary: | The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a complex primary immunodeficiency disorder that is characterized by recurrent infections, thrombocytopenia, eczema, and autoimmunity1,2 and caused by mutations in WAS.3 Its gene product, WAS protein (WASP), is a key regulator of actin polymerization in hematopoietic cells, with domains involved in signaling, cell locomotion, and immunologic-synapse formation.4 The complex biologic features of this disease result from multiple dysfunctions in different subgroups of leukocytes, including defective function of T and B cells, disturbed formation of the NK-cell immunologic synapse, and impaired migratory responses in all leukocyte subgroups.4,5 Severe WAS leads to an early . . . |
