Abnormalities of immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) glycosylation have been described in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), whether primitive or secondary to Henoch-Schonlein purpura. The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder, is associated with abnormalities of IgA, Renal involvement with mesangial IgA deposition identical to that found in IgAN has been reported during this affection, We report the case of a female carrier of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome presenting with Henoch-Schonlein purpura and abnormalities of IgA glycosylation, as previously reported in patients with ISAN. The galactosylation abnormalities of IgA could be linked to the patient's status as carrier of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and could contribute to the pathogenesis of IgAN.
