SH2D1A and agammaglobulinemia: For X-linked gene defects it is normally expected that only male patients are affected, but there can be exceptions: 1 female out of 91 patients with agammaglobulinemia [with Turner syndrome (X,0)] had a monoallelic mutation in BTK, and 1 female out of 10 X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) patients had a mutation in SH2D1A (XLP1).
