Severe combined immunodeficiency among the Navajo. I. Characterization of phenotypes, epidemiology, and population genetics.

Human biology - 1 Oct 1991

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have identified a high incidence of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) among the Navajo Native American population. To determine the incidence and population genetics of this condition, we reviewed the death certificates of all children who died between 1969 and 1982, established the cases that met criteria identified in previously investigated cases, and interviewed the selected children's...
