Abstract
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and immunodeficiency. WASP, the gene responsible for WAS, has been identified by positional cloning, contains a PH domain, a GBD domain, a proline rich region, and a verprolin/cofilin homology domain. Subsequent studies suggest that WASP is involved in signal transduction and in the regulation of the cytoskeleton.
