A triad consisting of tumors of this organ, immunodeficiency, and hypo-gamma-globulin-emia occurs in Good syndrome.
A triad consisting of tumors of this organ, immunodeficiency, and hypo-gamma-globulin-emia occurs in Good syndrome. The epithelial cells of this organ arise from the ventral wings of the third pharyngeal pouch. A transcription factor almost exclusively expressed in this organ is mutated in APS type 1, in which patients have disruption of multiple endocrine glands and chronic candida infection. This organ is located in the anterior superior mediastinum, and masses in this organ are associated with (*) myasthenia gravis. Type 4 epithelial reticular cells in this organ are organized into Hassall's corpuscles. One class of cells developed in this organ go through a double-positive stage before expressing either CD4 or CD8. For 10 points, name this organ in the chest responsible for controlling the development of T cells.
