Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare fatal disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 75‚000 children‚ usually leading to infant death within one year from birth (Cavazzana-Calvo‚ et al. pg 202). Patients suffering from SCID have genetic mutations that prevent their immune system from properly developing and functioning‚ which leads to recurrent and eventually lethal infections.
