ABSTRACT
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare genetic condition characterized by significant T cell lymphopenia and impaired T cell function. Many jurisdictions use the quantitation of T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) to screen for SCID in newborns, but false positives may be seen in several conditions. We report 3 newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome who presented with decreased TREC copy number.
