Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) gene cause X linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). This inherited immunodeficiency disease causes an arrest in B cell differentiation of pre-B cells to mature B cells. In this study we report the characterisation of mutations in the Btk gene in 10 unrelated XLA families. The screening approach we used was based on reverse transcriptase PCR and direct cycle sequencing of...
