Bruton tyrosine kinase [Interpretation] in B cells+monocytes by Flow cytometry (FC) Narrative
Active
Term Description
Analysis of the Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) protein by flow cytometry is performed as a preliminary screen for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), primarily in male patients (<65 years of age) or female carriers (child-bearing age: <45 years). Since genotype-phenotype correlations are important, BTK gene sequencing [LOINC: 35295-5] is performed when the Btk protein is absent by flow cytometry to confirm the diagnosis of XLA.
Part Description
LP185945-5 Bruton tyrosine kinase
Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is an intracellular protein that plays a crucial role in B-cell development. Mutations in the BTK gene are known to cause primary immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA, Bruton's agammaglobulinemia). Approximately 20% to 30% of XLA patients may have intact or truncated Btk protein with abnormal function. Therefore, gene mutation analysis by sequencing or other methods is more definitive for diagnosing XLA.
