Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Wetzler et al. (1990) described a family in which 2 sisters and their father had a combination of chronic papillomavirus and bacterial sinopulmonary infections, low immunoglobulin levels, and peripheral neutropenia in the face of bone marrow hypercellularity, shift ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In affected members of 4 pedigrees with WHIM syndrome, Hernandez et al. (2003) identified a truncating mutation in the cytoplasmic tail domain of the gene encoding chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4; 162643.0001). One of these pedigrees demonstrated apparent recessive inheritance ...
