BACKGROUND: Patients with interferon-gamma receptor 1 (IFNgammaR1) deficiency show selective susceptibility to intracellular pathogens such as mycobacteria. IFNgammaR1 deficiency is an inherited immunodeficiency disorder, which can be either recessive or dominant. Dominant forms of IFNgammaR1 deficiency are known to be associated with mutations that introduce a premature stop codon in the intracellular domain of...
