Omenn syndrome is a genetic disease that affects humans at the earliest stage of life. As an immunodeficiency disorder‚ it affects the immune system of the human body. The syndrome impairs the function of T cells and causes an absence of B cells. Both of these cells are lymphocytes and a type of leukocyte or white blood cell.

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is transmitted usually through unprotected sex with someone who is already infected‚ but it can also be transmitted through infected blood. The immune system is greatly affected by the disease. Once it enters the body‚ the virus recognizes a protein on helper T-cells‚ called CD4 (Cluster of Differentiation Antigen No. 4)‚ and it attaches onto that receptor to take over the CD4 cell. The result is a virus
