Mendelian defects in interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling most commonly lead to infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria. Mutations have been identified in the genes encoding IFN-gamma-receptor-1, IFN-gamma-receptor-2 and Stat-1. Partial and complete deficiencies in signaling are found, leading to parallel clinical, pathological, and cellular phenotypes. These rare defects have led to better molecular and mechanistic understanding of the role of IFN-gamma in the human immune system. (c) 2006 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
