Partial Interferon‐γ Receptor Signaling Chain Deficiency in a Patient with Bacille Calmette‐Guérin and<i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>Infection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Complete deficiency of either of the two human interferon (IFN)-gamma receptor components, the ligand-binding IFN-gammaR1 chain and the signaling IFN-gammaR2 chain, is invariably associated with early-onset infection caused by bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccines and/or environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria, poor granuloma formation, and a fatal outcome in childhood. Partial IFN-gammaR1 deficiency is associated with a milder histopathologic and clinical phenotype. Cells from a 20-year-old healthy person with a history of curable infections due to bacille Calmette-Guérin and Mycobacterium abscessus and mature granulomas in childhood were investigated. There was a homozygous nucleotide substitution in IFNGR2, causing an amino acid substitution in the extracellular region of the encoded receptor. Cell surface IFN-gammaR2 were detected by flow cytometry. Cellular responses to IFN-gamma were impaired but not abolished. Transfection with the wild-type IFNGR2 gene restored full responsiveness to IFN-gamma. This is the first demonstration of partial IFN-gammaR2 deficiency in humans.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
