agammaglobulinemia 6, autosomal recessive

Agammaglobulinemia 6, autosomal recessive is a rare genetic condition where mutations in the CD79B gene affect the immune system. This condition falls under agammaglobulinemia, a group of disorders where people have very low levels or complete absence of immunoglobulins, which are important for fighting infections. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a child must inherit copies of the mutated gene from both parents to develop the condition. Although details about the full range of clinical features are limited, the diagnosis typically involves identifying the specific genetic mutation in the CD79B gene.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

This condition is caused by mutations in the CD79B gene. The CD79B gene is important for normal immune system function, specifically in the development of B cells. The autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance means that someone needs to have two copies of the altered gene for the condition to appear.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
