The clinical spectrum of patients with deficiency of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-1

Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2011 Apr;30(4):352-5. doi: 10.1097/INF.0b013e3181fdff4a.

Abstract

STAT-1 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-1) is a key signaling component of interferon gamma responses. We present long-term manifestations in siblings with a mutation in the STAT1 gene, which include invasive salmonellosis, recurrent severe respiratory syncytial virus pneumonitis, and hepatosplenic mycobacterial disease, and we summarize all other reported cases with STAT-1 deficiency.
