FCH domain only 1 (FCHO1) is a key molecule involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Here, the authors report homozygous FCHO1 mutations in individuals with variable T and B cell lymphopenia, which are associated with loss-of-function of FCHO1 and impaired formation of clathrin-coated pits in T cells.
