Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare hereditary immune deficiency with recessive inheritance linked to the X chromosome (Xp11.22-p11.23), characterised by the association of thrombocytopenia with small-sized platelets, eczema and repeated infections. The deficiency occurs early in childhood, during the first decade and usually before the age of 3 years.
