Interferon gamma receptor 2

(Redirected from IFNGR2)

Function

edit

This gene (IFNGR2) encodes the non-ligand-binding beta chain of the gamma interferon receptor. Human interferon-gamma receptor is a multimer of two IFN-γR1 chains (encoded by IFNGR1) and two IFN-γR2 chains.[6]

Clinical significance

edit

Defects in IFNGR2 are a cause of autosomal recessive mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), also known as familial disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection.[7] All known mutations in IFNGR2 are collected in the IFNGR2 mutation database.[8]
