Neri et al. (1995) raised the possibility of an autosomal dominant form of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome on the basis of a 3-generation family in which several members presented clinical and laboratory findings of WAS (301000), including decreased CD43 expression on T lymphocytes. The gene for CD43, or sialophorin (SPN; 182160), is located on 16p11.2. However, no alteration of CD43 was found: Southern blot analysis failed to detect gross abnormalities of the CD43 gene and genotype analysis showed that the affected family members did not share a common CD43 allele.
