Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID): CD3E (Full Gene Sequencing)
Use
Confirm a clinical diagnosis of SCID; detect carriers; allow early diagnosis in family members
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This method does not reliably detect mosaic variants, large deletions, duplications, inversions, or other structural rearrangements. It is also not effective for detecting deep intronic variants, allele dropout, or determining T/A or microsatellite repeat numbers. It may not indicate whether two heterozygous variants occur on the same or different chromosome copies.
