✦ Synopsis

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Twenty Australian patients with an XLA phenotype, from 15 unrelated families, were found to have 14 mutations. Five of the mutations were previously described c.83G>A (p.R28H), c.862C>T (p.R288W), c.904G>A (p.R302G), c.1535T>C (p.L512P), c.700C>T (p.Q234X), while nine novel mutations were identified: four missense c.82C>A (p.R28S), c.494G>A (p.C165Y), c.464G>A (p.C155Y), c.1750G>A (p.G584E), one deletion c.142_144delAGAAGA (p.R48_G50del), and four splice site mutations c.241-2A>G, c.839+4A>G, c.1350-2A>G, c.1566+1G>A. Carrier analysis was performed in 10 mothers and 11 female relatives. The results of this study further support the notion that molecular genetic testing represents an important tool for definitive and early diagnosis of XLA and may allow accurate carrier status and prenatal diagnosis.
