Defects of the JAK3-gene are known to cause an autosomal recessive form of severe combined immunodeficiency with almost absent T-cells and functionally defective B-cells (T-B+SCID). The JAK3 protein, an intracellular tyrosine kinase, is crucial for signaltransmission from the common gamma chain to t
Mutations in the common gamma chain (y~ or IL2RG) of the interleukin-2, -4, -7, -9 and -15 receptors have been found to cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCIDX1). We report here on the mutations identified in a further ten families. Two of the mutations identified have occurred twice
Three novel mutations in the IL-2R gamma chain gene were identified in four Japanese patients with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency by direct sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA fragments.
