Article Synopsis
- Newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) can also detect infants with non-SCID T cell lymphopenia (TCL), and a study analyzed 80 such cases in the mid-Atlantic from 2012 to 2019.
- Out of 66 infants tested genetically, 51% had identifiable genetic variants, with the most common being thymic defects (33%) and unknown mechanisms (12%).
- The infants with genetic findings had significantly lower T cell counts, and 45% experienced infections during the study, but 31% showed resolution of TCL over time.
