Excerpt
The study of human primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) has identified factors critical for the development and function of the immune system [
1]. While typical severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in humans is defined by a profound block in T lymphocyte production, with or without associated B and NK lymphocyte defects, more heterogeneous combined immunodeficiency (CID) disorders arise from gene defects that allow T lymphocytes to mature, but hinder their survival, release from the thymus into the periphery, or effector functions [
2]. Individuals with CID may have both impairment of immune responses and defects in immune regulation; thus they may experience severe, recurrent and opportunistic infections as well as autoimmune disorders [
