Abstract excerpt
The T-cell receptor (TCR) genetic loci undergo an orderly process of recombination in ontogeny in order to generate a diverse array of antigen receptors. Normally occurring, out-of-frame and incomplete rearrangements produce non-productive TCR transcripts. Abnormalities in the rearrangement process occur at very low frequencies but may predominate in inborn errors of recombination. Detecting these abnormalities...
