This study reports two cases of partial interferon gamma receptor 1 deficiency, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for genetic counseling and disease prevention.
We encountered two patients with partial interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFN-gamma R1) deficiency in whom early diagnosis enhanced disease management. Patient 1 was a 44-year-old woman with enlarged lymph nodes diagnosed in a pre-pregnancy checkup, and pathological examination revealed a Mycobacterium avium infection. Based on her history of unknown multiple osteomyelitis during early childhood, mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease was suspected. Genetic analysis revealed a novel heterozygous variant in IFNGR1. Genetic counseling was administered to the patient and her husband before they had their baby. Patient 2 was a 4-month-old boy whose father was previously diagnosed with autosomal dominant IFN-gamma R1 deficiency owing to Bacille de Calmette et Guerin (BCG) osteomyelitis. Genetic analysis showed that he had the same INFGR1 variant. He avoided BCG vaccination and has been disease-free since then. Early diagnosis is considered to be useful for genetic counseling and essential for preventing BCG osteomyelitis.
