Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
- Autosomal recessive
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) comprises a group of rare monogenic primary immunodeficiency disorders characterized by a lack of functional peripheral T lymphocytes resulting in early-onset severe respiratory infections and failure to thrive. They are classified according to immunological phenotype into SCID with absence of T cells but presence of B cells (T-B+ SCID) or SCID with absence of both (T-B- SCID). Both of these groups include several forms, with or without natural killer (NK) cells.

- Immunodeficiency Disease
One of 170 genes linked to it
Disease in which there is a deficiency or defect in the mechanisms of immunity, either cellular or humoral.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
HSCT for SCID and severe PIDs; immunoglobulin replacement (IVIG/SCIG) for antibody deficiencies; leniolisib (Joenja, FDA 2023) for APDS; gene therapy for ADA-SCID; abatacept for CTLA4/LRBA deficiency; prophylactic antibiotics; G-CSF for CGD
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.

Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 1.6 kb of the gene's 87.9 kb; 495 of those bases code for the protein.

None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 87.9 kb of CD247, introns included, not only the 1.6 kb of exons.
