Erwin Gelfand, Andrew Snow, Joshua Milner and colleagues identify heterozygous CARD11 mutations associated with severe atopic disease in eight individuals from four families. They further show that the mutant CARD11 proteins exhibit both loss-of-function and dominant-interfering activity and that the cellular defects in patient T cells can be partially rescued by supplementing with glutamine.
