94241-7
LaboratoryBTK gene full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
Full gene sequence analysis of the BTK gene to identify a pathogenic mutations and confirm a diagnosis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in male patients with a clinical history and laboratory findings (e.g. recurrent sinopulmonary infections, profound hypogammaglobulinemia, and less than 1% peripheral B cells, and with or without abnormal Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) protein expression by flow cytometry). For female relatives of male XLA patients who do not demonstrate carrier phenotype by Btk flow cytometry, this test may also be performed.
