RAGs-associated SCID

Thursday 16 June 2011

T cell-negative (T-), B cell-negative (B-), natural killer cell-positive (NK+) severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) can be caused by mutation in the recombinase activating genes RAG1 (MIM.179615) and RAG2 (MIM.179616).

Nota bene: Omenn syndrome (MIM.603554) is an immunodeficient disorder with a less severe phenotype, also caused by mutation in the RAG1 and RAG2 genes.
