Abstract
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is primary immunodeficiency that result from the absence or diminished function of T cells. SCID is phenotypically classified by the presence or absence of B and NK cells and each subtype can be caused by defects in a number of different genes. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of SCID leads to decreased patient mortality from disease complications. In May 2014, Illinois instituted newborn screening (NBS) of all infants for T-cell lymphopenia via T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) assay.
