Abstract: 
An adult with hypomorphic ZAP-70 deficiency due to de novo donor splice site mutation manifested autoimmunity, infections especially with DNA-based viruses and lymphoproliferation. Morpholino interference of mutant splice site increased expression of wild-type protein, significantly improving T cell responses.
