What is STAT1 related immunodeficiency?
STAT1 related immunodeficiency is a rare disease caused by partial defects in the STAT1 gene, which leads to susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases. It is characterized by recurrent viral infections, bronchopneumonia, and other immune system abnormalities. The disease has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and often manifests in childhood, with a prevalence of less than 1 in 1,000,000.
