IFNγ2-receptor deficiency

The clinical syndrome is rare and is due to impaired immunity against mycobacteria. Parental cosanguinity and familial forms are frequent and the syndrome is often described as Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial infection. In most cases the inheritance is autosomal recessive, but also autosomal dominant and X-linked inheritence have been found. A child with disseminated Mycobacterium fortuitum and M. avium complex infections and absent IFNγ signaling was found to due to a mutation in the extracellular domain of IFNγ2-receptor.
