X-linked Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases

X-linked Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases is a rare group of immune system disorders. It is caused by specific mutations in the IKBKG gene or the CYBB gene. These genetic changes affect the body's ability to fight certain mycobacterial infections. This condition primarily affects males and is categorized as an immunodeficiency. Because it involves a weakened immune response to mycobacteria, people with this condition may experience repeated infections from these bacteria. Information about the full range of symptoms and clinical course is currently limited for this condition.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

This condition is caused by specific mutations in the IKBKG gene or the CYBB gene. These mutations affect the immune system, making it harder to fight mycobacterial infections. The disorder is inherited in an X-linked manner, which means it mostly occurs in males.
