[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IL2RG_HUMAN IL2RG_HUMAN] Defects in IL2RG are the cause of severe combined immunodeficiency X-linked T-cell-negative/B-cell-positive/NK-cell-negative (XSCID) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/300400 300400]; also known as agammaglobulinemia Swiss type. A form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. Patients present in infancy recurrent, persistent infections by opportunistic organisms. The common characteristic of all types of SCID is absence of T-cell-mediated cellular immunity due to a defect in T-cell development.<ref>PMID:8401490</ref> <ref>PMID:8299698</ref> <ref>PMID:8088810</ref> <ref>PMID:8027558</ref> <ref>PMID:7937790</ref> <ref>PMID:7668284</ref> <ref>PMID:7557965</ref> <ref>PMID:7860773</ref> <ref>PMID:8900089</ref> <ref>PMID:9150740</ref>  Defects in IL2RG are the cause of X-linked combined immunodeficiency (XCID) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/312863 312863]. XCID is a less severe form of X-linked immunodeficiency with a less severe degree of deficiency in cellular and humoral immunity than that seen in XSCID.<ref>PMID:7883965</ref> <ref>PMID:9399950</ref>
