Serum Interleukin-7 (IL-7) Level May Be a Marker of T-Cell Homeostasis in Partial DiGeorge Syndrome (pDGS)
Blood samples of consecutive pDGS children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion (median age: 45 months, range: 1-231 months) were analyzed for lymphocyte phenotypes by flow cytometry (n = 27), T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) by real time PCR (n = 24) and IL-7 levels by ELISA (n = 19).
