Abstract excerpt
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) is a rare and potentially fatal disease caused by mutations of IL2RG, the gene encoding the interleukin-2 receptor gamma chain, a component of multiple cytokine receptors that are essential for lymphocyte development and function. To date, over 100 different mutations of IL2RG resulting in XSCID have been published. Using nonradioactive, direct DNA sequencing of a...
