Severe Combined Immunodeficiency: Newborn Screening Saves Lives - August 28, 2014

What is SCID?  Severe combined immunodeficiency is a group of genetic disorders characterized by little or no immune response. SCID is sometimes known as "bubble boy" disease. Patients are susceptible to recurrent infections. New treatments can save many SCID patients. From the National Center Biotechnology Information, NIH
