Natural History Study of SCID Disorders

This study follows participants with SCID prospectively, meaning the study enrolls participants where there is a plan to receive a blood and marrow transplant, enzyme therapy, or gene therapy in the future. Participants are then followed according to a schedule set out by the study protocol after the procedure. There are no experimental therapies on this study. The goal of this study is to learn more about: (1) outcomes from the treatment of SCID in the modern era of medicine (2) what factors lead to the best long-term outcomes, such as best donor, conditioning regimen, timing of transplant, etc., and (3) what impact newborn screening and the early diagnosis of SCID has had on the long-term outcomes following BMT or gene therapy. Information is also being gathered on how and when the immune system recovers after bone marrow transplant (BMT), quality of life for long-term survivors, and about whether children develop normally after treatment. This natural history study is the largest coordinated prospective study of participants with SCID ever performed. Information that investigators will learn, both now and in the future, will help doctors and other health professionals to better treat children with SCID.
