Abstract WHIM Syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency caused by gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations. Here we report a decrease in bone mineral density in 25% of WHIM patients and bone defects leading to osteoporosis in a WHIM mouse model. Imbalanced bone tissue is observed in mutant mice combining reduced...
