The most effective found treatment for SCID is a blood forming stem cell transplant from the bone marrow of a healthy person. However, most patients do not have a matched sibling donor, so transplants from a parent of unrelated matched donor are often performed.

One version of SCID is X linked, however ADA deficiency is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called adenosine deaminase.

What Gene or Chromosome is Affected by This Disorder?

# data[].attributes.body
There are two types of SCID. One type, XSCID, is linked to the X chromosome, which causes mutations to IL2RG, which is a key factor in creating a receptor on the surface of a lymphocyte.

Adenosine deaminase deficiency SCID, commonly called ADA SCID, is a very rare genetic disorder. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called Adenosine deaminase (ADA), This ADA protein is an enzyme needed by all body cells to create fresh DNA.

Depending on diagnosis time, life expectancy varies. Generally people are diagnosed very young.

There is no real life expectancy

Generally, babies exhibit persistence of the following symptoms:

Eight or more ear infections

Two or more cases of pneumonia

Infections that do not resolve with antibiotic treatment for two or more months

Failure to gain weight or grow normally

Infections that require intravenous antibiotic treatment

Deep-seated infections, such as pneumonia that affects an entire lung or an abscess in the liver

Persistent thrush in the mouth or throat

A family history of immunodeficiency or infant deaths due to infection

Early diagnosis is very rare, because it isn't normal for white blood cell counts to be taken in infancy. Generally babies are diagnosed at around six months old, generally because of excessive reoccurring infections.

A person born with SCID has little to no in the way of an immune system, which make a person especially susceptible to illness.
