Abstract
Background and Objectives: In the last decade, autosomal recessive IL-12R beta 11 deficiency has been diagnosed in four children with severe tuberculosis from three unrelated families from Morocco, Spain, and Turkey, providing proof-of-principle that tuberculosis in otherwise healthy children may result from single-gene inborn errors of immunity. We aimed to estimate the fraction of children developing severe tuberculosis due to IL-12R beta 1 deficiency in areas endemic for tuberculosis and where parental consanguinity is common.
