Immunopharmacology Comments
Adenosine deaminase deficiency causes immunodeficiency (ADA deficiency or ADA-SCID). Around 30 known genotypes are associated with this autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. Mitotically active cells such as developing T cells and B cells are susceptible to this deficiency, expaining the resulting pathology.

Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Click here for help
Disease:  Omenn syndrome
Disease Ontology: DOID:0060010
Orphanet: ORPHA39041
References:  2-3
Disease:  Severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency
Description: ADA-SCID is an ultra-rare, inherited genetic disorder, caused adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. Affected individuals experience recurrent and potentially life-threatening infections as their immune systems are severely compromised by the build up of toxic metabolites in the absence of ADA activity.
Synonyms: ADA-SCID
Severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-negative, due to adenosine deaminase [OMIM: 102700]
Disease Ontology: DOID:5810
OMIM: 102700
Orphanet: ORPHA277
Role: 
Drugs: 
Therapeutic use:  Elapegademase-lvlr can be administered to pediatric and adult patients.
