Mutations of Bruton's tyrosine kinase gene in Brazilian patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
Mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene are responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), which is characterized by recurrent bacterial infections, profound hypogammaglobulinemia, and decreased numbers of mature B cells in peripheral blood. We evaluated 5 male Brazilian patients, ranging from 3 to 10 years of age, from unrelated families, whose diagnosis was based on recurrent inf...

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 کاملMolecular and structural characterization of five novel mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase gene from patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
BACKGROUND The Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) gene has been shown to be mutated in the human immunodeficiency disease, XLA (X-linked agammaglobulinemia). Btk is a member of the Tec family of cytosolic protein tyrosine kinases with distinct functional domains PH, TH, SH3, SH2, and kinase. Mutations have been observed in each of the Btk subdomains in XLA. We have analyzed the Btk gene in six XLA ...
متن کاملBTK, 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...
