Transcriptome profiling of monocytes from XLA patients revealed the innate immune function dysregulation due to the BTK gene expression deficiency

Abstract X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a rare genetic disorder, caused by mutations in BTK (Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase) gene. Deep high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) approach was utilized to explore the possible differences in transcriptome profiles of primary monocytes in XLA patients co...
