X-linked agammaglobulinemia: report on a United States registry of 201 patients.

TLDR
A national registry of United States residents with XLA was established in 1999 to provide an updated clinical view of the disorder in a large cohort of patients and found that patients with a positive family history at the time of their birth were diagnosed before clinical symptoms developed.

The Principles of Engineering Immune Cells to Treat Cancer

TL;DR: This work discusses how synthetic biology approaches for cellular engineering is providing a broadly expanded set of tools for programming immune cells and how these tools could be used to design the next generation of smart T cell precision therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk): function, regulation, and transformation with special emphasis on the PH domain.

TL;DR: Novel mutations in the pleckstrin homology domain investigated for their transforming capacity are described and it is shown that the mutant D43R behaves similar to E41K, already known to possess such activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenoviruses in Immunocompromised Hosts

TL;DR: Sensitive diagnostic tests for adenovirus can contribute to the early diagnosis and successful treatment of life-threatening adenvirus infections, especially in complex immunocompromised patients.

The gene involved in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia is a member of the src family of protein-tyrosine kinases

TL;DR: A novel gene has been isolated which maps to the XLA locus, is expressed in B cells, and shows mutations in families with the disorder, the first evidence that mutations in a src-related gene are involved in human genetic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic criteria for primary immunodeficiencies. Representing PAGID (Pan-American Group for Immunodeficiency) and ESID (European Society for Immunodeficiencies).

TL;DR: The clinical and laboratory findings in several of the X-linked immunodeficiencies are sufficiently distinctive that these findings, when coupled with a family history of disease that is specific to X- linked inheritance, can be used to make a definitive diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary hypogammaglobulinaemia: a survey of clinical manifestations and complications

TL;DR: There is particular concern that infection with mycoplasmas and enteroviruses can be resistant to treatment and the high incidence of lymphoma and gastric carcinoma in patients with common variable immunodeficiency is high-lighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome: clinical and immunologic features of 79 patients.

TL;DR: The X-linked hyper-IgM (XHIGM) syndrome is an uncommon primary immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the gene for CD40 ligand and characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM, reduced levels of IgG and IgA, and defective T-cell function.
