(Canine SCID)
*Affects Basset Hounds and Corgis
*X-linked recessive defect in the gene coding for the IL-2 receptor
**IL-2 receptor is a receptor for the cytokine IL-2 which causes [[Lymphocytes#T cells|T cells]] to proliferate
*Causes lymphoid hypoplasia, stunted growth and increases the animal's susceptibility to infection
*Animal usually dies from pneumonia or sepsis as the level of maternal [[Immunoglobulins|antibody]] decreases
