Official Title: Generalized Neonatal Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiencies (SCID) by Quantification of TRECs
Brief Summary: The goal of the proposed research is to observe the prevalence and establish the validity of a newborn screening method for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The assay to be used is developed on the basis of PCR quantification of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) that is absent in SCID patients, thus correlating with the disease.
