Abstract excerpt
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) constitutes a disorder of the immune system caused by mutations in the gene encoding the common gamma chain (gammac), a subunit of the IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15 receptors, which are necessary for lymphocyte development and function. In this study the IL2RG gene of 31 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) was examined by nonradioactive...
