Detection of Six Novel Mutations in WASP Gene in Fifteen Iranian Wiskott-Aldrich Patients

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a life-threatening X-linked recessive immunodeficiency disease described as a clinical triad of thrombocytopenia,  eczema, and recurrent infections, caused by mutations of the WAS protein (WASP) gene. The milder form of this disease is X-Linked thrombocytopenia  (X...
