Mutations in the WAS gene causing X-linked thrombocytopenia
Mutations in the WAS gene causing X-linked thrombocytopenia
This analysis includes patients worldwide with X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). This is a separate analysis from the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) mutation figure and includes additional patients with XLT. Note that missense mutations predominate and cluster in certain exons, although there is overlap with mutations causing WAS.
