Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid with a myo‐inositol head group, can form seven different phosphoinositides (PItds) by phosphorylation at inositol carbons 3, 4 and/or 5. Over 50 kinases and phosphatases participate in PItd metabolism, creating an interconnected PItd network that allows for precise temporal and spatial regulation of ...

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an X-linked inherited disease usually caused by a germline mutation in the BTK gene leading to Bruton’s tyrosine kinase deficiency, which results in the impaired development of B-lymphocytes and a subsequent lack of ...

A distinct role for B1b lymphocytes in T cell-independent immunity [PDF]
Pathogenesis of infectious disease is not only determined by the virulence of the microbe but also by the immune status of the host. Vaccination is the most effective means to control infectious diseases.

Arthritis and X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
Primary immunodeficiencies are defined as genetically determined functional and/or quantitative abnormalities in one or more of the components of the immune system. Immunodeficiency and arthritis can be related, although the mechanisms are not always clear.

Revisiting X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Discovered >70 years ago by Ogden Bruton, X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), characterized by recurrent bacterial infections, hypo/agammaglobulinemia, and peripheral blood B-cell deficiency, is among the best-established inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) and one of the most well-documented single types of IEIs, the incidence of which is estimated

Relevance of laboratory testing for the diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies: a review of case-based examples of selected immunodeficiencies [PDF]
The field of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) is one of several in the area of clinical immunology that has not been static, but rather has shown exponential growth due to enhanced physician, scientist and patient education and awareness, leading to ...

Atypical Manifestation of X-linked Agammaglobulinemia – the Importance of Genetic Testing
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) was one of the first inborn errors of immunity to be described. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene for Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which has important functions in B cell development and maturation ...

Vecchie e nuove Immunodeficienze Primitive: strategie per il sospetto e la diagnosi. [PDF]
Viene analizzata l'epidemiologia delle immunodeficienze in Slovenia e Friuli venezia Giulia. Vengono valutati i sintomi di presentazione di immunodeficienza in base all'età di esordio e di diagnosi e gli esami di laboratorio più utili nell'iter ...
