X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an inherited immunodeficiency disease associated with a block in differentiation from pre-B to B cells. The XLA gene encodes a 659 amino acids cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase named btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase). The few btk gene alterations so far reported in XLA patients are heterogenous and distributed in all domains of the btk protein. They appear to be responsible for...
