Broad spectrum of autoantibodies in patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and X-linked thrombocytopenia

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2015 Nov;136(5):1401-4.e1-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2015.08.010. Epub 2015 Sep 26.

Abstract

Using a protein microarray, a broad spectrum of autoantibodies were demonstrated in patients with either Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) or with X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT), indicating that immune dysregulation is an integral component of both diseases.
