Selective gamma-chain T-cell receptor gene rearrangements in a patient with Omenn's syndrome: absence of V-II subgroup (V gamma 9) transcripts

Clin Diagn Lab Immunol. 1996 Sep;3(5):616-9. doi: 10.1128/cdli.3.5.616-619.1996.

Abstract

Only gamma-chain T-cell receptor transcripts utilizing V-1 subgroup gene segments were found in peripheral blood lymphocytes from a patient with Omenn's syndrome. gamma-Chain T-cell receptor transcripts utilizing the V gamma 9 (V-II subgroup) gene segment were absent in peripheral blood lymphocytes from this patient. V gamma 9 J gamma 1.2 C gamma 1 rearrangements are those primarily found in peripheral blood lymphocytes (70 to 85%) from normal donors.
