In the present study, 205 Arabian horses raised in Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, Brazil, were genotyped using the PCR technique. The results showed 98.5% of normals (202/205) and 1.5% of SCID carriers (3/205). Checking the pedigrees of the three carriers was possible to confirm the participation of one stallion first identified as the possible disease disseminator.
