?:definition
  • A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases with characteristics of mild bacillus Calmette-GuĂ©rin (BCG) infections and recurrent Salmonella infections. The prevalence is unknown. Over 140 cases have been reported in the world. Disease onset usually occurs in patients before the age of 12 with the appearance of BCG disease, usually after receiving the vaccination. Over half of patients with this variant experience an additional infection with non-typhoidal Salmonella. Caused by mutations in the IL12RB1 gene (19p13.1) subunit that encodes for the IL-12R-beta1 chain. These mutations impair the IL-12/IL-23 pathway essential for production of IFN-beta and the resulting immunity against Salmonella and BCG infections. Inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.
