Effect of mutations in the CXCR2 and CXCR4 signaling systems.

Genotype Phenotype
Receptor Signaling Early Mortality Immune System Cardiovascular Development Cerebellar Development
Human CXCR4+/WHIM Increased; impaired desensitization 0% Panleukopenia
Myelokathexis
Low Igs
Impaired vaccine responses
Recurrent infections
Persistent HPV disease
HPV and EBV associated cancer
Tetralogy of Fallot (n=4) Abnormal vermis (n=5)
Mouse Cxcr4+/WHIM Increased; impaired desensitization 0% Panleukopenia (B>T~N), reversed by AMD3100
No myelokathexis
Normal Ig levels
Low cellularity in spleen due to low B and T lymphocytes
No spontaneous infections
No warts or spontaneous cancers
