X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by germline mutations of B-cell tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. It is characterized by decreased serum immunoglobulins levels and circulating mature B cells. This defect in humoral immunity leads to increased susceptibility to infection. Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon, ulcerating, neutrophilic dermatosis. Here...
BACKGROUND Primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is the most common group of primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID), with a broad spectrum of clinical features ranging from severe and recurrent infections to asymptomatic disease. OBJECTIVES The current study was performed to evaluate and compare demographic and clinical data in the most common types of PAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed ...
The critical role of Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) in B cells has been documented by the block of B-cell development in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Less is known about Btk function in myeloid cells. Several pieces of evidence indicate that Btk is a component of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. We analyzed whether Btk deficiency in XLA is associated with an impaired dendritic cell (DC) ...
BACKGROUND X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a humoral immunodeficiency caused by disruption of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Typical XLA patients suffer recurrent and severe bacterial infections in childhood. METHODS Flow cytometric analysis of the peripheral monocytes using the anti-BTK antibody was used to characterize a 27 year old male patient with mild hypogammaglobulinemi...
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, critical for B-cell development and function. Mutations that inactivate this kinase were found in families with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). In this study the Btk gene was analyzed in 13 registered Greek patients with XLA phenotype originated from 12 unrelated families, in order to provide a definite diagnosis of the XLA. T...
Surrogate light chains (lambda 5/VpreB) are selectively expressed in early precursors of B cells. B-cell defects in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) are caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase. To elucidate the nature of early B-lineage cells in bone marrow (BM), samples from 13 XLA patients and 24 healthy controls of different ages were comparatively analyzed using an ant...
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) or Bruton’s disease is a rare inherited disorder of the immune system: XLA is a primary immunodeficiency, occurring in 1 of 190,000 male births in the United States [1,2]. XLA represents nearly 85% of agammaglobulinemia cases, and is caused by a defect in gene, located on the X chromosome, coding for Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK gene mutation causes a fa...
The B-cell defect in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Using the anti-BTK monoclonal antibody (48-2H), a flow cytometric analysis of intracytoplasmic BTK protein expressed in monocytes was successfully performed. To examine the possible identification of XLA patients and female carriers by this assay, we studied 41 unrelated...
BACKGROUND X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) is a genetic disorder characterised by a defect in the generation of mature B cells, lack of antibodies production, and susceptibility to recurrent bacterial infections. Understanding of the risk factors responsible for morbidity and mortality in these patients can help in a better management of this disorder. However, there is a lack of specific st...
Studies on murine B lymphocytes showed that Bruton's tyrosine kinase mediates signal transduction induced via CD38, a nonlineage-restricted 45-kD ectoenzyme. This signaling is defective in B cells from X-linked immunodeficient mice affected with the analogue of human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). We performed a structural and functional analysis of CD38 in XLA and other immunodeficiencies,...
