Abstract excerpt
Recently, we investigated a Belgian patient with severe combined immune deficiency caused by a dysfunction of the gene for adenosine deaminase (ADA-SCID), which was found to be due to a 3.2-kb deletion spanning the promoter and the first exon of the ADA gene (Berkvens et al., 1987, Eur. J. Pediatr. 146:329). No ADA-specific RNA could be detected in primary fibroblasts derived from this patient. In the present...
