X-linked agammaglobulinemia is caused by mutations in the human BTK gene, leading to recurrent pyogenic infections. We describe four novel and three known BTK-mutations in seven patients from seven (six Thai and one Burmese) families. All but one were sporadic cases. Patients 1 and 2 had recurrent mutations in exon 10 (R288W) and exon 17 (R562W), respectively. Patient 3, a previously healthy individual who...
