Abstract excerpt
STAT1 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations underlie an inborn error of immunity hallmarked by chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). Beyond the fungal susceptibility, attributed to Th17 failure, over half of the reported patients suffer from autoimmune manifestations, mechanism of which has not been explained yet. We hypothesized that the STAT1 mutations would affect dendritic cells' (DCs) properties and alter...
