Mutations in the gene encoding the common gamma chain (gammac) of interleukin receptors 2, 4, 7, 9, 15 and 21 result in X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1). Classically, this disease is characterised by an absence of T and NK cells, and near normal numbers of functionally deficient B cells (B(+), T(-), NK(-) phenotype). Atypical phenotypes have also been described, but relatively little is known...
