X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary B cell immunodeficiency disorder, caused by a defect in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Here, we describe a novel four base pair mutation (838delGAGT) in intron 9 of the BTK gene leading to the skipping of exon 9 in a 2.5-year-old boy with this disorder.
X连锁无丙种球蛋白血症(XLA)是一种原发性B细胞免疫缺陷疾病,由布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(BTK)基因缺陷引起。在此,我们描述了一名患有该疾病的2.5岁男孩,其BTK基因第9内含子存在一种新的4个碱基对的突变(838delGAGT),导致外显子9跳跃缺失。
