Microdeletion 22q11.2 syndrome: Does thymus incidental surgical resection affect its immunological profile?

CONCLUSION: Patients with del22q11.2 syndrome subjected to thymus resection present lower lymphocyte and TREC indexes when compared to patients without thymectomy. This situation may be influenced by the age at the surgery and the time elapsed since the procedure. PMID: 30292446 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
