V. Schuster et al., MOLECULAR-GENETIC HAPLOTYPE SEGREGATION STUDIES IN 3 FAMILIES WITH X-LINKED LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISEASE, European journal of pediatrics, 153(6), 1994, pp. 432-437
Three families with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease were studied.
Affected males clinically presented with severe or fatal infectious m
ononucleosis, acquired hy pogammaglobulinaemia, hypergammaglobulinaemi
a M, and malignant lymphoma including Hodgkin disease. Haplotype analy
sis using various DNA markers from Xq25-q27 allowed the prediction of
the carrier status in females and identification of the XLP status in
asymptomatic males.
