Abstract
To study the correlation between genotype and phenotype in x-linked SCID, we have characterized the presentation of 2 unrelated patients. Both had infections suggestive of immunodeficiency, but their immune function and lymphoid tissues were normal. They were found to have an identical R222C mutation in the gammac gene.
