BACKGROUND: Disruption of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signalling causes pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Rarely, genetic defects in neonatal or infant-onset PAP have been identified in CSF2RA. However, no report has clearly identified any function-associated genetic defect in CSF2RB.
