Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an inherited disorder of the immune system that affects males but not females. It is characterized by recurrent infections, low numbers of circulating blood platelet cells (thrombocytes) and eczema (skin rash). The disorder is caused by a mutation (mistake) in the WASP (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein) gene. There is no cure for WAS. You can read more about it at the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital's website.
