Description:
The interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor gamma chain (IL2RG), an important signalling component of many interleukin receptors (IL2,IL4,IL7,IL9, and IL15), is thus referred to as the common gamma chain. Mutations in this X-chromosome-linked gene cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID).
