XX. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY
Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome is a rare inherited immune disorder caused by mutations in the WAS gene. The disorder affects how immune cells organize their internal structure and communicate with one another. As a result, affected individuals develop low platelet counts, recurrent infections, eczema, autoimmune disease, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Modern treatment often includes immune-supportive therapies, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be curative. SCF interprets Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome as a cellular coordination disorder in which the immune system loses its ability to efficiently organize, communicate, and defend the body.
