Patients with autosomal recessive (AR) IL-12p40 or IL-12Rβ1 deficiency display Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) due to impaired IFN-γ production and, less commonly, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) due to impaired IL-17A/F production. This evidence concerns the gene IL12RB1 and Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases.
