Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Roifman et al. (1989) described a female infant with a novel type of human immunodeficiency characterized by a selective T-cell defect. Peripheral circulating T cells from these patients exclusively expressed CD4, CD3, and T-cell receptor-alpha/beta, but not CD8 ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Because the phenotype of STCD T cells was consistent with a deficiency of a T cell-specific protein-tyrosine kinase, Arpaia et al. (1994) screened the cells of 3 patients with STCD from 2 Mennonite families for a possible mutation ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews ZAP70-related severe combined immunodeficiency (ZAP70-related SCID) is a cell-mediated immunodeficiency caused by abnormal T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling leading to a selective absence of CD8+ T cells and normal or elevated numbers of non-functional CD4+ T cells [Arpaia et al 1994, Chan et al 1994, Elder et al 1994]....
Clinical Description GeneReviews Individuals with ZAP70-related SCID usually present in the first year of life with recurrent bacterial, viral, and opportunistic infections, diarrhea, and failure to thrive. Severe lower respiratory infections are typically seen, most notably Pneumocystis jiroveci infections and viral infections. Oral moniliasis is common. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Infants positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV+) may present with recurring infections and failure to thrive similar to SCID. Individuals with HIV have CD4+ lymphopenia, in contrast to the CD8+ lymphopenia in ZAP70-related SCID. In a neonate the definitive diagnosis of HIV should be made by detection of cell-associated human immunodeficiency proviral DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. See Table 2....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with ZAP70-related severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), the following evaluations are recommended:...
