Autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia: novel insights from mutations in Ig-beta.

Abstract excerpt

Agammaglobulinemia is a rare primary immuno-deficiency characterized by an early block of B-cell development in the bone marrow resulting in the absence of peripheral B cells and low/absent immunoglobulin serum levels. Mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase and in components of the pre-B-cell receptor (pre-BCR), such as mu heavy chain, surrogate light chain, and Igalpha have been found in 85% to 90% of patients...
