Long-term survival in severe combined immune deficiency: the role of persistent maternal engraftment

Ilhan Tezcan et al. J Pediatr. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Two siblings with severe combined immune deficiency, one with maternal engraftment and detectable immunologic functions who was alive at the age of 8 years are presented. Both patients had the same JAK3 gene mutation, suggesting that maternal engraftment may result in immune competence leading to long-term survival in patients with severe combined immune deficiency.
