This slide was done by NIH. It is the Western Blot Test. The doctor says it shows residual WASP expression which is similar to one of his patients with a mild phenotype or XLT. Compared to normal WASP, David's expression is greatly reduced.
My son had a mild common mutation of Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome (WAS). We decided, after 2 years of research, to not do the BMT but one month after our decision, he had a brain hemorrhage from jumping on a trampoline. His hemorrhage was treated with platelets but we were quickly encouraged to do the BMT. When he was two yrs old, he had a BMT with a 10/10 unrelated adult donor. We hope our research will help other families struggling with WAS. Feel free to email me: aimeemcnally@gmail.com
