X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome
- X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome
-
a hereditary disorder of the immune system caused by a defective
sex-linked gene carried on an
X chromosome. There is uncontrolled proliferation of B-
lymphocyte in response to infection by the Epstein-Barr virus, which can lead to fulminating hepatitis or lymphoma. This condition is due to a defect in a gene,
SAP, which encodes a signalling molecule found in the cytoplasm of cells.
