XLP

XLP
(= X-linked lymphoproliferative disease.)
The X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), one of six described X-linked immunodeficiencies, stems from a mutation at Xq25 which renders males impotent to mount an effective immune response to the ubiquitous EBV. Proliferation of EBV-infected B-cells is apparently unregulated and invariably results in fatal mononucleosis, agammaglobulinemia, or malignant lymphoma. See SAP.
