Abstract
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (McKusick 30040; IMD4) is a disease of unknown pathogenesis characterized by severe and persistent infections from early in life that are due to absence of both cellular and humoral immune function. Although the disease has been provisionally mapped to proximal Xq, high lethality and lack of a carrier test have limited the number of scorable meioses. We performed linkage analysis in six new kindreds with X-linked SCID, using a random pattern of T-cell X inactivation to rule out the carrier state in at-risk women. Our linkage results, combined with analysis of Xq interstitial deletions, confirmed the region assignment of X-linked SCID, narrowed the boundaries within which this locus lies to Xq13.1-q21.1, and established the locus order DXS159-(PGK1, SCID)-DXS72-DXS3, defining flanking markers for prenatal diagnosis and carrier testing.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
