The block in differentiation from pro-B to pre-B cells results in a selective defect in the humoral immune response characteristic of human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Mutations of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene have been identified as the cause of XLA. Mutation detection is the most relia

✦ Synopsis
Oncogenes are altered forms of normal cellular genes known as proto-oncogenes. Several oncogenes encode enzymes that phosphorylate substrate proteins at tyrosine. In most of these cases the oncogene differs from itsproto-oncogene by multiple mutations that alter the structure of the encodedprotein product. Here we discuss how structural changes might effect the regulation and substrate specijicity of the protein kinase product of a protooncogene so that it gains the potential to transform cells.

Communicated by Mark H. Paalman X-linked agammglobulinemia (XLA) is a ptototypical humoral immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene coding for Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK). The genetic defect in XLA impairs early B cell development resulting in marked reduction of mature B cells in the blood
