This study has represented two rare cases of HLH carrying missense variant in PRF1 and splice site variant in SH2D1A gene. Detailed molecular analysis has helped the families with precise genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis during subsequent pregnancy. It is advocated that male patients presenting with EBV-associated HLH may be screened for XLP that may lead to early diagnosis and therapeutic implication if any.
