IMD29 results from autosomal recessive IL12B deficiency and is characterized by undetectable IL12B secretion from leukocytes. IL12B-deficient patients generally present with bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) disease after vaccination in childhood, and at least half also have Salmonella infection. Infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and environmental mycobacteria have also been reported in IL12B-deficient patients. The phenotype is relatively mild, and patients have a good prognosis (review by Al-Muhsen and Casanova, 2008). [from
