What is Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase?
It is an enzyme vital for the maturation of B cells
Is X-linked agammaglobulinemia congenital?
Yes, X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a congenital genetic disorder. It is caused by mutations in the BTK gene located on the X chromosome, leading to a deficiency in B-cell development and immunoglobulin production from birth.
Where is the gene for Btk?
The gene for Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) is located on the X chromosome at position Xq21.32. Mutations in the Btk gene can lead to X-linked agammaglobulinemia, a primary immunodeficiency disorder.
How is X-linked agammaglobulinemia diagnosed?
To make a definitive diagnosis, the child's X chromosome is analyzed for defects in the Btk gene. Similar analysis can be used for prenatal diagnosis or to detect carriers of the defective gene
