Abstract excerpt
Severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) comprise a spectrum of genetic defects that involve both humoral and cellular immunities. Defects in recombinating activating gene 1 (RAG1), RAG2, Artemis, or LIG4 can disrupt V(D)J recombination. Defective V(D)J recombination of the T and B cell receptors is responsible for T(-)B(-)NK(+)SCID. Amorphic mutations in RAG1 and RAG2 cause T(-)B(-)NK(+)SCID, whereas...
