Abstract excerpt
Four patients with adult-onset, disseminated mycobacterial infection had 5' UTR mutations in IKBKG without clear physical stigmata of NEMO deficiency. These mutations caused decreased levels of NEMO protein and Toll-like receptor driven cytokine production. Three patients died from disseminated disease. These mutations may be missed by whole exome sequencing.
