Abstract

Primary agammaglobulinemia result from specific alterations in B cells, which lead to low antibody production. Diagnostic suspicion is established with a history of repeated infections, low immunoglobulins, and absence of CD19+ B lymphocytes. The diagnosis is confirmed by genetic analysis and the detection of a mutation linked to the X or autosomal recessive or dominant chromosome. In Peru, there is no literature on primary agammaglobulinemia and no reports on the genotype of patients with suspected primary agammaglobulinemia. Under this scenario, a study was performed to describe the genotype of patients with suspected primary agammaglobulinemia. Twenty (20) patients were found with mutations in the BTK gene and an autosomal recessive IGHM mutation. Thirteen (13) hereditary mutations and seven de novo mutations were found. It is concluded that the group of primary agammaglobulinemia are mostly mutations in the BTK gene, corresponding to X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
