Steven Brenner co-author research that reveal the secrets of ‘Boy in the Bubble’ Disease

UC Berkeley was part of an interdisciplinary, international research team that has identified the rare genetic mutation responsible for a unique case of “boy in the bubble” disease, known as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a deadly immune system disorder. Steve Brenner, co-authored the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that found that the cause was a mutated version of a gene called BCL11B, which also plays an unexpected role in the normal processes of immune system development, a study that reflects remarkable advances in molecular diagnosis.
