Characterization of a WAS splice-site variant in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome by Elisabetta Toriello, Rosa Maritato, Antonio De Rosa, Maria Valeria Esposito, Carla Damiano, Carla Damiano, Carmen Rosano, Emilia Cirillo, Antonietta Tarallo, Antonietta Tarallo, Cosimo Abagnale, Francesca Cillo, Roberta Romano, Laura Grilli, Marika Comegna, Marika Comegna, Giancarlo Blasio, Giancarlo Parenti, Giancarlo Parenti, Enrico Maria Surace, Giuseppe Castaldo, Giuseppe Castaldo, Claudio Pignata, Giuliana Giardino
