A Novel Homozygous JAK3 Mutation Leading to T-B+NK– SCID in Two Brazilian Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
We report a novel homozygous JAK3 mutation in two female Brazilian SCID infants from two unrelated kindreds. Patient 1 was referred at 2 months of age due to a family history of immunodeficiency and the appearance of a facial rash.

Swiss newborn screening for severe T and B cell deficiency with a combined TREC/KREC assay – management recommendations

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2020
The recent introduction of newborn screening for severe primary T and B cell deficiencies in Switzerland allows rapid identification of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Outcomes for SCID are greatly improved by early diagnosis and

The C Terminus of Ku80 activates the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Ku is a heterodimeric protein with double-stranded DNA end-binding activity that operates in the process of nonhomologous end joining. Ku is thought to target the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex to the DNA and, when DNA bound, can interact ...

Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a potential cause of low TREC copy number

open access: yesAllergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2021
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare genetic condition characterized by significant T cell lymphopenia and impaired T cell function. Many jurisdictions use the quantitation of T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) to screen for SCID in ...

Postnatal corticosteroid treatment as a risk factor for false positivity in severe combined immunodeficiency newborn screening

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2023
From 2011, 37 children were referred to a hospital due to low levels of T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) from newborn screening. Among them, three children were immunologically characterized and followed up to show that postnatal corticosteroid ...

Second-Tier Next Generation Sequencing Integrated in Nationwide Newborn Screening Provides Rapid Molecular Diagnostics of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and other T cell lymphopenias can be detected during newborn screening (NBS) by measuring T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in dried blood spot (DBS) DNA. Second tier next generation sequencing (NGS) with an
