Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial infection in man.

Abstract excerpt

Selective susceptibility to poorly pathogenic mycobacteria, such as bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine and environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria, has long been suspected to be a mendelian disorder but its molecular basis has remained elusive. Recently, recessive mutations in the interferon-gamma-receptor receptor ligand-binding chain, interferon-gamma-receptor signalling chain, IL-12 p40 subunit and...
