Five missense mutations at the adenosine deaminase locus (ADA) detected by altered restriction fragments and their frequency in ADA – patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA – SCID)
1992
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a heterogeneous syndrome, due to X-linked and autosomal recessive defects. A significant proportion of the autosomal recessive forms of SCID are due to mutations at the adenosine deaminase (ADA) locus. Nine different mutations at the ADA locus, including 7 missense point mutations, have been reported in children with ADA-SCID. We could detect 5 of the 7 missense mutations associated with ADA-SCID by alterations in restriction fragments utilizing standard restriction digestion of genomic DNA and hybridization of radiolabelled ADA genomic probes to Southern transfers
