Abstract excerpt
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is characterized by clinical disease caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria, such as environmental mycobacteria and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccines, in otherwise healthy individuals. All known genetic etiologies disrupt interferon (IFN)-γ immunity. Germline bi-allelic mutations of IFNGR2 can underlie partial or complete forms of IFN-γ receptor 2 (IFN-γR2)...
