?:definition
  • A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibly to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of a complete deficiency in interferon gamma receptor 2, leading to an undetectable response to interferon gamma and consequently to severe and often fatal infections with bacillus Calmette-GuĂ©rin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. The prevalence is unknown. Only ten children have been identified to date. This disease is caused by mutations in IFNGR2 on chromosome 21q22.1-22.2 which encodes the IFN-gamma receptor signal transducing chain, essential for IFN-gamma mediated immunity. Two clinically indistinguishable forms have been reportedly defined by the presence or absence of protein expression on the cell surface.
