The clinical score was assessed as described by Ochs et al.1 All patients had thrombocytopenia and small platelets.

del indicates deletion; nt, nucleotide; ins, insertion.

Consequences on WASP expression: patient no. 1: splice variant, frameshift, 0% WASP protein expression expected, similar to patient P39 reported by Remold-O'Donnell et al21; patient no. 2: Y83stop, no WASP expression as shown in Western blot (Figure 2); patient no. 3: unknown consequences, Western blot could not be performed; patient no. 4: splice acceptor affected, possible loss of exon 2 and splicing of exon 1 to exon 3 in frame as long as there is no cryptic splice acceptor used, 0% WASP expression expected, similar to patient P37 reported by Remold-O'Donnell et al21; patient no. 5: R211stop, 0% WASP expression expected, similar to patient Dma reported by Zhu et al22; patient no. 6: 483 frameshift leading to stop at 494, low level of WASP expression as shown in Western blot (Fig 2).
