Congenital IL-12R1β Receptor Deficiency and Thrombophilia in a Girl Homozygous for an IL12RB1 Mutation and Compound Heterozygous for MTFHR Mutations: A Case Report and Literature Review
Overview
Affiliations
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) plays an important role in the production of interferon gamma from T cells and natural killer cells and is essential for protection against intra-macrophagic pathogens such as Mycobacterium and Salmonella. Here, we describe a 16-year-old girl with homozygous mutation in exon 12 of the IL12RB1 gene, which causes complete IL-12Rβ1 deficiency in association with heterozygous mutation (C677T and A1298C) in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. She presented with disseminated Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection, retroperitoneal fungal abscess and also thrombosis in the superior mesenteric-portal vein junction. This is the first case report of a primary immunodeficiency associated with a genetically determined venous thrombosis.
