Human Gene Set: HP_ABNORMAL_TOTAL_CD8_T_CELL_NUMBER


Standard name HP_ABNORMAL_TOTAL_CD8_T_CELL_NUMBER
Systematic name M38467
Brief description Abnormal total CD8+ T cell number
Full description or abstract Abnormal increase or decrease of the absolute number of cytotoxic CD3+CD8+ T cells (measured the absolute count per volume or as percentage of total CD3+ T cells in the blood), compared to a reference range for a given sex and age-group. These are usually measured within the TCR alpha/beta positive population. []
