Abstract excerpt
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Twenty Australian patients with an XLA phenotype, from 15 unrelated families, were found to have 14 mutations. Five of the mutations were previously described c.83G>A (p.R28H), c.862C>T (p.R288W), c.904G>A (p.R302G), c.1535T>C (p.L512P), c.700C>T (p.Q234X), while nine novel mutations were...
