BTK and Bruton-type agammaglobulinemia: Deficiencies in stimulatory kinases by mutations, such as Btk, cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) (Kinnon et al., 1993), while deficiencies in the inhibitory phosphatases SHP-1 or SHIP-1 result in autoimmune diseases (Pao et al., 2007; Leung et al., 2013).
