  • Sensori-neural deafness
  • Severe neutropenia (< 200 / uL and unresponsive to G-CSF) and deficiency of marrow granulopoiesis unless there is known adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) pathogenic mutation(s) identified
• Stratum C
  • SCID with Non-HCT Treatment Patients 
  • Intention to treat with PEG-ADA or gene transfer with autologous modified cells
  • ADA Deficient SCID with intention to treat with PEG-ADA
  • ADA Deficient SCID with intention to treat with gene transfer
  • X-linked SCID with intention to treat with gene transfer

Exclusion Criteria

• Presence of an HIV infection (by PCR) or other cause of secondary immunodeficiency
• Presence of DiGeorge syndrome
• Most patients with other PIDs such as nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, ZAP70 deficiency, CD40 ligand deficiency, NEMO deficiency, XLP, cartilage hair hypoplasia or ataxia telangiectasia will not meet the inclusion criteria for Stratum A, B, or C above
  • However, a patient with one of the above may meet the inclusion criteria for Stratum B and if so will be included
• MHC Class I and MHC Class II antigen deficiency are specifically excluded
• Metabolic conditions that imitate SCID or related disorders such as folate transporter deficiency, severe zinc deficiency, transcobalamin deficiency
