PropertyValue
?:definition
  • A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases characterised by Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infections. The prevalence is unknown. Caused by mutations in the ISG15 gene (1p36.33), which encodes an IFN-alpha/beta inducible, ubiquitin-like intracellular protein. These mutations impair ISG15 secretion by leucocytes, a molecule which plays an essential role as an IFN-gamma-inducing secreted molecule needed for optimal antimycobacterial immunity. Inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.
