Agammaglobulinemia, BTK Clinical Trial
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a humoral primary immunodeficiency in which affected
patients have very low levels of peripheral B cells and a profound deficiency of all
immunoglobulin isotypes. Mutations in the gene encoding for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk)
are responsible for most of the gammaglobulinemia.
We tend to investigate the gene mutation and clinical features of Chinese X-linked
agammaglobulinemia (XLA) patients, and also examined the relationship between specific Btk
gene mutations and severity of clinical presentation.
