Medical genetics 2. Etiology Immunodeficiency has no common cause, although a single gene defect is often implicated
Medical Genetics Immunodeficiency has no common cause, although a single gene defect is often implicated
Medical genetics The defect can lead to a missing enzyme(eg, adenosine deaminase deficiency), a missing protein(eg complement component deficiencies) or developmental arrest at a specific differential stage(eg, pre-B-cell arrest in X-linked agammaglobulinemia)
