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 th...
