A letter to the editor is presented in response to the article "The neurologic basis of fever," by Clifford B. Saper and Christopher D. Breder published in the June 30, 1994 issue.

The article discusses the identification of a nonsense mutation in the transcription-factor gene, growth factor independent 1B (GFI1B) in a family of autosomal dominant gray platelet syndrome. Linkage and sequence analyses, molecular and functional characterization of mutated GFI1B and cellular analyses were conducted. It determined that GFI1B is a causative gene in autosomal dominant gray platelet syndrome.
