Agammaglobulinemia- non-Bruton type
Overview
A chromosomal aberration involving LRRC8 is a cause of non-bruton type agammaglobulinemia.

 


Agammaglobulinemia
Definition
Agammaglobulinemia is an inherited disorder in which there are very low levels of protective immune system proteins called immunoglobulins. People with this disorder repeatedly develop infections.

Agammaglobulinemia
Alternate Names : Bruton's agammaglobulinemia, X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Definition ...

Agammaglobulinemia is rare disorder that primarily affects males, because it is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait (like hemophilia). It is the result of a genetic abnormality that blocks the development of normal, mature B-lymphocyte cells.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia, also called Bruton's agammaglobulinemia or congenital agammaglobulinemia, was the first immunodeficiency disease ever identified.

X-Linked agammaglobulinemia is an inherited disorder, occurring mainly in boys, in which your child is unable to produce antibodies (the body's primary defense against bacteria and viruses).

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an inherited immune system disorder that reduces your ability to fight infections. People with XLA may experience infections of the inner ear, sinuses, respiratory tract, bloodstream and internal organs.

Agammaglobulinemia: A nearly total absence of immunoglobulins. See Antibodies.
AIDS: See Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

Agammaglobulinemia: Total or near-total absence of gamma globulin, a protein fraction of the blood rich in antibodies, due to certain genetic diseases such as Bruton agammaglobulinemia or to acquired diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
