Defect of neutrophil mobility with dominant inheritance in a family with Waardenberg's syndrome

A R Hayward, R Mowla, Betty Harvey
PMCID: PMC1627240  PMID: 7247439

Abstract

A family with Waardenberg's syndrome and recurrent infections is described. Immunological studies showed defective neutrophil mobility in vitro (which could account for the susceptibility of such patients to infection), and the presence of high serum IgM levels.
