STAT1 deficiency refers to a condition where there is a partial or complete lack of the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 protein. This deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases, due to the important role STAT1 plays in mediating cellular responses to interferons and other immune functions.
