## Abstract The clinical phenotype of Ligase IV syndrome (LIG4 syndrome), an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the __LIG4__ gene, closely resembles that of Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), and is characterized by microcephaly, characteristic facial features, growt
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
