X-linked Agammaglobulinemia

It is an X linked disease first discribed by Bruton in 1952.It is caused by the mutation of BTK gene (present on the long arm of X chromosome) which encodes for the protien Bruton tyrosine kinase,[1] which is mainly associated with the maturation and differentiation of the pre B cell. The disruption of this protein can therefore lead to significant decrease in all antibody isotypes, due to failure of Ig heavy chain rearrangement. [2]

  • Affected individuals generally present between 3 months to 3 years of age, with almost 90% becoming symptomatic by 5 years of age.[3]
  • Presence of maternal immunoglobulins provide transient protection, concealing symptoms of the disease and preventing early detection.
  • Physical examination typically shows absence of lymph nodes.
  • Patients are susceptible to recurrent infections with encapsulated organisms and enteroviruses, primarily effecting respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
  • Laboratory findings show defect in humoral immunity with absence or negligible amount of IgM, IgG, and IgA, as well as <2% of B cells lymphocytes. Neutropenia can also be seen.[4] [1][5]
  • Treatment is mainly via replacement of immunoglobulins either by intravenous or subcutaneous routes. Recurrent infections are prevented and treated by antibiotics.[6]
