Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is the most common clinical symptom of singer transducer and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gain-of-function (GOF) mutations. Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that is characterized by permanent bronchiectasis, causing cough, expectoration, and even haemoptysis. The underlying pathogeny is not yet clear. Immunoglobulin (Ig) A is derived from memory B cells and correlates with immune-related diseases. STAT1 is closely associated with signal transmission and immune regulation. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 17-year-old male patient carrying a GOF mutation in STAT1. The variant led to CMC, bronchiectasis, and elevated serum IgA levels, as well as stunting. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed a c.986C>G (p.P329R) heterozygous mutation in the STAT1 gene. CONCLUSION: Further Sanger sequencing analysis of STAT1 in the patient and his parents showed that the patient harboured a de novo mutation.
