Patients with X-linked Ig deficiency with normal or elevated IgM (HIGMX-1) fail to switch from IgM/IgD to other Ig isotypes. Interaction between the B cell antigen CD40 and the CD40 ligand expressed on activated T cells is critical for T cell driven isotype switching. We have reported that T lymphocytes from three unrelated male patients with HIGMX-1 failed to express CD40 ligand on their surface, but the mRNA for CD40 ligand was of an apparently normal size and level. Analysis of CD40 ligand cDNA from two of the patients revealed deletions that alter the reading frame. Patient 1 displayed two mutations: a C-->A transversion at nucleotide 590 and the deletion of an adjacent C nucleotide. The second patient had a 58 bp deletion from nucleotides 289-346. Furthermore, neither patient expressed a protein product detectable by the CD40L mAb, 5c8.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
