Context:
DiGeorge syndrome is a genetic anomaly spanning partial phenotypic variations to complete DiGeorge syndrome, due to deletions involving chromosome 22q11.2. Thus, in addition to the thymus, the heart, parathyroid glands and other structures can be affected. The diagnosis of complete DiGeorge syndrome is determined by a positive blood test for athymia [15], together with radiography and ultrasound.
Well, the absense of or the underperformance of the thymus.
@Setanta,
Thanks.
"a positive blood test for athymia " = the result of blood test for athymia is positive?
@oristarA,
Yes, the blood test indicates that the person in question suffers from athymia.
@Setanta,
Thanks.
The English grammar is terse yet interesting.
In the immunology texts which you have been presenting for several weeks now, Oristar, the English grammar is very poor. Certainly you are not responsible for the faults of the author(s).

You keep mouthing this line but you never specifically illustrate what you mean, Setanta. Why might that be?
