Article Excerpts about X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia

XLA is sometimes called Bruton type, X-linked infantile, or congenital agammaglobulinemia. One out of 100,000 people have XLA. Defects on the X chromosome cause XLA. Only boys get XLA. That is because girls have two sets of X chromosomes, and the normal copy compensates for the faulty gene. (Source: excerpt from Primary Immune Deficiency, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
