One mechanism is Ddx3x support of Brwd1 expression at pre B cell stage and support of efficient cell cycle arrest as well as light chain rearrangement (resulting in skewed kappa/lambda usage)

From lab bench to Parliament House, a few weeks ago, I was proud to bring the voices of patient advocacy and rare disease research to advocate for equitable and fair access to vaccination and blood products.
With this dual lens, I added evidence-based insights to strengthen the case for change.
