Abstract excerpt
X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) is an inherited immunodeficiency resulting from mutations in the gene for a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase (Btk). We have utilised reverse-transcription-based PCR in combination with the chemical cleavage and mismatch technique (CCM) to screen for Btk mutations in 42 unrelated patients having classical XLA or 'leaky' XLA-like phenotypes. A variety of mutations, including...
