Abstract excerpt
Severe combined immunodeficiency is a heterogenous syndrome of varied genetic origins of which the X-linked type is the commonest (XSCID). The most sensitive method for diagnosis of XSCID in the absence of X-linked inheritance pattern is by mutation analysis. In this report we have performed mutation analysis in 13 unrelated boys transplanted (BMT) for SCID without a known cause to determine the frequency of...
