Some monogenic diseases are expected to present reduced TCR-induced DAG signalling such as Zap-70 deficiency, interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) deficiency, X-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect (XMEN) or Wiskott Aldrich syndrome (WAS), and thus may be in principle compensated by DGKα targeting. The gene discussed is ITK; the disease is Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
