agammaglobulinemia 4, autosomal recessive

Agammaglobulinemia 4, autosomal recessive is a rare condition in which there is a problem with the immune system. The condition is due to a mutation in the BLNK gene. This genetic change affects the normal development and function of B cells, which are a type of white blood cell important for fighting infections. People with this condition may have challenges with their immune function because they have lower levels of antibodies. This summary provides basic information based on trusted sources on how the condition occurs and its genetic background.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

The cause of agammaglobulinemia 4, autosomal recessive is a mutation in the BLNK gene. This genetic change is responsible for the defect in B cell development that leads to the condition. Genetics play a crucial role, and the mutation follows an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that a person would need to inherit two copies of the mutated gene to develop the disease.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about research is currently limited for this condition.
