Abstract excerpt
Background and significance: The interleukin-2 receptor gamma chain gene (IL2RG) encodes for the common γ chain (γc) protein, that is a shared signaling component of multiple interleukin receptors, including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21, and plays a pivotal role in lymphocyte development, homeostasis, and function. Mutations in IL2RG cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) and a broad...
