Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) result in the immunodeficiency X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). In a previous study of 101 patients with presumed XLA, we identified seven patients with large genomic alterations in Btk. The recent completion of 100 kb of contiguous DNA sequence at the Btk locus has allowed us to characterize these mutations in detail and to identify four different types of...
