IMD38 predisposes individuals to severe clinical disease upon infection with weakly virulent mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccines (Bogunovic et al., 2012). Patients do not experience severe disease in response to viral infection. Affected individuals have intracranial calcification (Zhang et al., 2015). [from
