Description
An autosomal recessive deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) which results in Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID). ADA is necessary for the breakdown of purines. Lack of ADA causes accumulation of dATP. The most common form of SCID, accounting for about 50% of autosomal recessive cases. The first disease for which gene therapy was applied.
Management
Enzyme treatment (with PEG-ADA) is beneficial; Antiinfectious prophylaxis and early and aggressive treatment of infections are indicated; BMT has been described in many individuals; Surveillance for certain neoplasms may be beneficial. Variants may also contribute to Partial ADA deficiency; Gene therapy may be available, though largely on an experimental basis.
