Abstract excerpt
Mutations in a variety of genes can cause congenital agammaglobulinemia and a failure of B cell development. The currently known genes encode components of the pre-B cell receptor or proteins that are activated by cross-linking of the pre-B cell receptor. Defects in these genes result in a block in B cell differentiation at the pro-B to pre-B cell transition. A patient with a translocation involving a previously...
