Leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1 (LAD-1) is caused by defects in the β2 integrin subunit. We studied 18 missense mutations, 14 of which fail to support the surface expression of the β2 integrins. Integrins with the β2-G150D mutation fail to bind ligands, possibly due to the failure of the α1 segment of the βI domain to assume an α-helical structure. Integrins with the β2-G716A mutation are not maintained in their resting states, and the patient has the severe phenotype of LAD-1. The β2-S453N and β2-P648L mutants support the expression of integrins and adhesion functions. They should be re-classified as polymorphic variants.
白细胞黏附缺陷1型（LAD-1）是由β2整合素亚基缺陷引起的。我们研究了18个错义突变，其中14个不能支持β2整合素的表面表达。具有β2-G150D突变的整合素无法结合配体，这可能是由于βI结构域的α1片段未能形成α螺旋结构所致。具有β2-G716A突变的整合素不能维持其静止状态，该患者具有LAD-1的严重表型。β2-S453N和β2-P648L突变体支持整合素的表达和黏附功能。它们应重新分类为多态性变体。
