Inherited and Somatic<i>CD3</i>ζ Mutations in a Patient with T-Cell Deficiency

Abstract excerpt

A four-month-old boy with primary immunodeficiency was found to have a homozygous germ-line mutation of the gene encoding the CD3zeta subunit of the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex. CD3zeta is necessary for the development and function of T cells. Some of the patient's T cells had low levels of the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex and carried the Q70X mutation in both alleles of CD3zeta, whereas other T cells had normal...
