In HLH-2004, verified FHL was defined as having either biallelic mutations in FHL-causative genes (PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, and STXBP2) or an affected sibling.

Patients within the HLH-2004 study who fulfilled the HLH-94 criteria (5 of 5).

Patients within the HLH-2004 who only fulfilled the HLH-2004 criteria (5 of 8) but not the HLH-94 criteria (5 of 5).
