X-linked agammaglobulinemia
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (also called X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia, XLA, Bruton type agammaglobulinemia) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to fight infection. XLA patients do not generate mature B cells capable of manufacturing antibodies called immunoglobulins that the body uses to defend itself from infection.
