Your Mayo Clinic care team

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) can affect a variety of organs. At Mayo Clinic, specialists in allergy and immunology in the Primary Immunodeficiency Center in Minnesota work with doctors and researchers in a wide variety of departments.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Analysis of your DNA can reveal whether you have a gene that causes XLA. The Clinical Genomics department at Mayo Clinic can help you understand how a genetically based condition such as XLA affects you or your child and your family.

Mayo Clinic doctors are experienced in diagnosing and treating people with XLA. Doctors work closely with you to provide the most appropriate care for you or your child, focusing on decreasing the frequency and the severity of infections. Mayo Clinic doctors are trained in primary immunodeficiency care for children and adults with XLA and other immune system conditions.
