Some mutations were found more commonly: 1122 G\u2192A (W374X), associated with Turkish origin, in 32 patients; 50delT (L17fsX22) associated with African\/African American origin, in 21 patients; and 1090-91delCT (L364fsX), in 7 Japanese patients. Flow cytometry showed that perforin expression was absent in 40, reduced in 6 and normal in 4 patients. Patients presented at a median age of 3 months (quartiles: 2, 3 and 13 months), always with fever, splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. NK activity was absent in 36 (51%), \u2a7d2% in 18 (26%), 3\u2013\u2a7d5% in 10 (14%), &gt;5% in 4 (6%), \u201creduced\u201d in 2 (3%) (not reported, n\u200a=\u200a54).
