Case Report: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for X-Linked Severe Combined Immune Deficiency Caused by IL2RG Gene Variant.

ABSTRACT: Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) has been increasingly used to prevent rare inherited diseases. In this study, we report a case where PGT was used to prevent the transmission of disease-caused variant in a SCID-X1 (OMIM:300400) family. SCID-X1 is an X-linked recessive inherited disease whose major clinical manifestation of immune deficiency is the significant reduction in the number of T-cells and natural killer cells. This family gave birth to a boy who was a hemizygous proband whose IL2RG gene was mutated (c.315T > A, p(Tyr105*), NM_000206.3, CM962677). In this case, Sanger sequencing for mutated allele and linkage analysis based on single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotype via next-generation sequencing were performed simultaneously. After PGT for monogenic disorder, we
