Abstract
X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP or Duncan disease) is characterized by extreme sensitivity to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), resulting in a complex phenotype manifested by severe or fatal infectious mononucleosis, acquired hypogammaglobulinemia and malignant lymphoma. We have identified a gene, SH2D1A, that is mutated in XLP patients and encodes a novel protein composed of a single SH2 domain.SH2D1Ais expressed in many tissues involved in the immune system. The identification ofSH2D1A will allow the determination of its mechanism of action as a possible regulator of the EBV-induced immune response.
