What is another word for X-linked Scid?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛkslˈɪŋkt sˈɪd] (IPA) 
X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system. This condition occurs when there is a mutation in the IL2RG gene located on the X chromosome. This gene codes for a protein that is an essential component of the immune system, necessary for the development and function of immune cells. The term X-linked SCID is often used interchangeably with the name "Bubble Boy Syndrome" because children with this condition are often confined to sterile environments to avoid infection. Other synonyms for X-linked SCID include X-linked Lymphocyte Deficient, X-SCID, and X-linked Agammaglobulinemia. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing this life-threatening condition.
