Test ID: BTKS    
Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Genotype, Full Gene Sequence, Blood

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Confirming a diagnosis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in male patients with a history of recurrent sinopulmonary infections, profound hypogammaglobulinemia, and less than 1% peripheral B cells, with or without abnormal Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) protein expression by flow cytometry

 

Evaluating for the presence of BTK variants in female relatives (of male XLA patients) who do not demonstrate carrier phenotype by Btk flow cytometry
