SMARCAL1 and infection: Cellular (T-cell) deficiency, lymphopenia, and infections have been frequently reported, but whether they are due to T-cell-intrinsic defects in T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling associated with SMARCAL1 deficiency or to T-cell-extrinsic effects such as the impaired proliferation of hematopoietic precursors or T-cell-specific immunosuppression after renal transplantation remains unknown.
