Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer and Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a patient with X-linked recessive Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases with a nuclear factor-κB essential modifier mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear factor (NF)-κB essential modifier (NEMO), also known as IκB kinase subunit-γ (IKKγ), is a pivotal molecule in the NF-κB signaling pathway. Mutations of NEMO cause incontinentia pigmenti and X-linked ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency. Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD), which confers an almost selective predisposition to mycobacterial infection, is also caused by NEMO...
