BTK, the tyrosine kinase affected in X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a heritable immunodeficiency disorder that is caused by a differentiation block leading to almost complete absence of B lymphocytes and plasma cells. The affected protein is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase, Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (Btk). Btk along with Tec, Itk and Bmx belong to a distinct family of protein kinases. These proteins c...

متن کاملDeficient Expression of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase in Monocytes from X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia as Evaluated by a Flow Cytometric Analysis and its Clinical Application to Carrier Detection
Background: The B-cell defect in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK mutations result in deficient expression of BTK protein in peripheral blood monocytes. Methods: Using the anti-BTK monoclonal antibody (48-2H), a flow cytometric analysis of intra cytoplasmic BTK protein expression in monocytes was performed to identify I...
متن کامل"screening of the bruton tyrosine kinase (btk) gene mutations in 13 iranian patients with presumed x-linked agammaglobulinemia "
x-linked agammaglobulinemia (xla) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the bruton tyrosine kinase (btk) gene. in order to identify the mutations in btk gene in iranian patients with antibody deficiency, 13 male patients with an xla phenotype from 11 unrelated families were enrolled as the subjects of investigation for btk mutation analysis using pcr-sscp followed by sequencing. five di...
متن کاملTubulointerstitial nephritis complicating IVIG therapy for X-linked agammaglobulinemia
BACKGROUND Patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) develop immune-complex induced diseases such as nephropathy only rarely, presumably because their immunoglobulin (Ig) G concentration is low. We encountered a patient with XLA who developed tubulointerstitial nephritis during treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). CASE PRESENTATION A 20-year-old man was diagnosed with XLA 3...
