Compare and contrast X-linked SCID and autosomal SCID

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Classic X-linked SCID accounts for 45% of all cases. It is characterized by an absence of T lymphocytes and a hypoplastic thymus, but autosomal SCID is not.
Autosomal SCID is caused by an ADA (adenosine deaminase) deficiency. It inhibits normal B and T cell development, but classic X-linked SCID is not.
