OBJECTIVE X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), the first known primary immunodeficiency, is caused by rare mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Mutations in the BTK gene lead to a failure in the development and maturation of B-cell linage. A decreased number of B-cells results in agammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to a variety of infections. Therefore, patients with XLA usually manifest with repetitive bacterial infections, such as upper respiratory tract infections, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and urinary tract infections, since their infancy. METHODS We report a 17-year-old Iranian boy with XLA, referred to us with a history of severe and recurrent episodes of bacterial infections for a period of six years. RESULTS Genetic analysis using the whole Exome sequencing revealed a hemizygous missense mutation in the BTK gene (c.428 A > T, p.His143Leu). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, c.428 A > T has not been reported in the BTK gene.

D000077329 Agammaglobulinaemia Tyrosine Kinase A non-receptor tyrosine kinase that is essential for the development, maturation, and signaling of B-LYMPHOCYTES. It contains an N-terminal zinc finger motif and localizes primarily to the PLASMA MEMBRANE and nucleus of B-lymphocytes. Mutations in the gene that encode this kinase are associated with X-LINKED AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA.
