Abstract
ABSTRACT:: IL-12Rβ1 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder that predisposes to severe infections with otherwise poorly pathogenic mycobacteria and salmonella. Seventy unique IL12RB1 mutations in 198 individuals are known that almost invariably result in the same cellular phenotype: absence of IL-12Rβ1 expression on the cell surface (in all but one) and absence of IL-12 and IL-23 responses (in all). No genotype–phenotype relationship exists. This manuscript reviews the function of IL-12Rβ1 and molecular genetics of IL12RB1, and introduces the IL12RB1 mutation database.(Figure is included in full-text article.)
