उत्तर
ADA (adenosine deaminase) deficiency is a form of SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency)- a type of disorder that affects the immune system. The disease is caused by a mutation in a gene on chromosome 20. The gene codes for the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA). Without this enzyme, the body is unable to break down a toxic substance called deoxyadenosine. The toxin builds up and destroys infection-fighting immune cells called T and B lymphocytes.
