UNLABELLED: We report different immunological phenotypes in three siblings from consanguineous family with recombinase-activating gene 1 (RAG1) gene mutations. Null mutations of RAG genes result in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) with absent T and B cells. Hypomorphic mutations with retained activity of RAG genes may lead to a 'leaky' SCID with some features of Omenn syndrome (OS) or typical OS. In our...
