What would be the phenotype of an ADA infected individual?
What would be the phenotype of an ADA carrier?
Adenosine deaminase deficiency is a severe immune system failure = the kids need to avoid infections, or they will be killed by the germs. The gene is on chromosome 20, and it is recessive so carriers have little, if any, phenotype.
