Mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase ( BTK) gene are responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). We identified BTK mutations in six patients with presumed XLA from unrelated Korean families. Four out of six mutations were novel: two missense mutations (P565T, C154Y), a point mutation in a splicing donor site (IVS11+1G&gt;A), and a large deletion (a 6.1-kb deletion including BTK exons 11-18). The large deletion, identified by long-distance PCR, revealed Alu-Alu mediated recombination extended from an Alu sequence in intron 10 to another Alu sequence in intron 18, spanning a distance of 6.1 kb. The two known mutations consisted of one missense (G462D) mutation, and a point mutation in a splicing acceptor site (IVS7-9A&gt;G). This study suggests that large genomic rearrangements involving Alu repeats are few but an important component of the spectrum of BTK mutations.
