Agammaglobulinemia with normal B-cell numbers in a patient lacking Bob1.
CAPSULE SUMMARY Bob1 deficiency reduces B-cell responsiveness, impairs plasmablast formation and immunoglobulin secretion. Bob1 deficiency presents with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections and agammaglobulinemia despite normal B-cell ...

Novel BTK mutation in X-linked agammaglobulinemia: Report of a 17-year-old male.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), the first known primary immunodeficiency, is caused by rare mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene.
