Abstract
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.
