Abstract
“It is in her moments of abnormalities that nature reveals its secrets.” (Goethe) I MPORTANT INSIGHTS into a number of biological processes have come from studies of rare inherited diseases. Goethe’s declaration is best exhibited by the leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndromes, in which
