A mutation in the interferon-gamma-receptor gene and susceptibility to mycobacterial infection.

The New England journal of medicine - 26 Dec 1996

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic differences in immune responses may affect susceptibility to mycobacterial infection, but no specific genes have been implicated in humans. We studied four children who had an unexplained genetic susceptibility to mycobacterial infection and who appeared to have inherited the...
