A novel gene mutation, c.82delC (p.Arg28 Alafs5), in a Korean family with X-linked agammaglobulinemia [PDF]
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a hereditary humoral immunodeficiency that results from Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene mutations. These mutations cause defects in B-cell development, resulting in the virtual absence of these lymphocytes from ...

Subcutaneous IgG Replacement Therapy by Push in 32 Patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases in Argentine [PDF]
Introduction: Regular replacement with immunoglobulin infusions is the mainstay of treatment in the majority of primary immunodeficiencies. Several studies showed that Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIG) has similar efficacy to Intravenous Immunoglobulin (

We have defined the clinical presentation and course of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (X-LA) by means of a multi-center retrospective survey of 96 patients. Infections were the most common presenting feature of patients with X-LA. The most frequent infections involved the upper respiratory tract (75%), lower respiratory tract (65%), gastrointestinal ...
