摘要
We report on a 6 year old patient with an unusual clinical presentation of WAS and oligoclonal proliferation of TCR gamma delta(+) large granular lymphocytes (LGL). Flow cytometry demonstrated two distinct populations of lymphocytes with strongly decreased (WASP(-)) or normal expression levels of WASP (WASP(+)), respectively. Molecular analysis confirmed a splice site mutation in intron 2 of the WASP gene in the WASP- cells but not in WASP(+) cells. LGL cells were WASP(+), suggesting that two independent rare events, somatic revertant mosaicism and LGL expansion, have occurred in a child with WAS. Our report points to diagnostic difficulties in the presence of partial WASP reversions and LGL.
