Short description of the BTKbase :

Defects in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene cause agammaglobulinemia. Agammaglobulinemia is characterized by failure to produce mature B lymphocyte cells and is associated with a failure of Ig heavy chain rearrangement. Two thirds of cases are familial, and one third of cases are believed to arise from new mutations. Mutations of the BTK gene are found in approximately 80% of patients with agammaglobulinemia.
