What happens during the disease - severe combined immunodeficiency [scid] with low or normal b-cell numbers
Scid is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ada). this mutation results in the inability to produce ada, leading to a deficiency in the enzyme's ability to convert adenosine to inosine, which is an essential step in the production of t-cells and b-cells. as a result, the body is unable to generate a normal amount of these cells, leading to a severe combined immunodeficiency.

Severe combined immunodeficiency [scid] with low or normal b-cell numbers - Prevention
The best way to prevent severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) with low or normal b-cell numbers is to ensure that newborns are screened for the disease through genetic testing. early diagnosis and treatment is key to preventing severe complications and death. additionally, couples who are planning to have children should be aware of their family history of scid and seek genetic counseling if necessary.
