Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis can be caused by an Inborn Error of Immunity, especially those affecting TH-17 / IL-17 responses. Through in-depth immunophenotyping and functional assays, we reveal the association between homozygous carriage of the common p.R381Q IL-23R genetic variant and increased candidiasis susceptibility, relying on disrupted IL-23-mediated IL-17 immunity.
慢性黏膜皮肤念珠菌病可由先天性免疫缺陷引起,尤其是那些影响TH-17 / IL-17反应的缺陷。通过深入的免疫表型分析和功能测定,我们揭示了常见的p.R381Q IL-23R基因变体的纯合携带与念珠菌病易感性增加之间的关联,这依赖于IL-23介导的IL-17免疫功能的破坏。
