Signalling from these receptors normally promotes growth and differentiation of T-cells, B cells, natural killer cells, glial cells, and cells of the monocyte lineage, depending on the cell type and receptor activated. [11] The most important receptors for X-SCID are those for Interleukin 2, Interleukin 4, Interleukin 7, and Interleukin 15.

As the name suggests, T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia is characterized by involvement of cytotoxic-T cells). [ 2 ] In a study based in the US, the average age of diagnosis was 66.5 years [ 3 ] whereas in a French study the median age at diagnosis was 59 years (with an age range of 12–87 years old). [ 4 ]
People with ME/CFS often have immune system abnormalities. A consistent finding in studies is a decreased function of natural killer cells, a type of immune cell that targets virus-infected and tumour cells. [49] They are also more likely to have active viral infections, correlating with cognitive issues and fatigue.
