Abstract excerpt
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) belongs to the Tec family of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases. Mutations in the BTK gene cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA); a primary immunodeficiency disorder in human. No clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established in XLA so far. To determine how differently mutations in BTK affect the severity of the disease and if BTK promoter polymorphic variant or...
