- Abstract:
-
Mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) cause the B-cell disorder X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) in humans, but the effect of Btk deficiency in human bone health has not been investigated previously. In this study, we show that human Btk-deficient osteoclasts are defective at resorption activity in vitro owing to a dysregulation of the actin cytoskeletal function. Contrary to expectation, XLA patients did not exhibit increased bone density or alterations in serum markers of bone turno...
