Abstract:
Agammaglobulinemia is a rare inherited immunodeficiency disorder characterized by low or absent B cells with absent immunoglobulins. While X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is the most common type other genetic forms of agammaglobulinemia have been identified. During early childhood, passively transferred maternal Immunoglobulin G protects against various infections. The depletion of these antibodies begins between 6 and 12 months of age, resulting in recurrent sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia in children with X-linked agammaglobulinemia. However, less common autosomal recessive forms of agammaglobulinemia present with more severe clinical features, leading to earlier diagnosis. Herein we present the case of a two-month-old male with IGLL1 gene defect and different clinical findings of family members with the same mutation.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
