In this report, function and frequency of Th17 cells as well as genetics of patients susceptible to mucocutaneous candidiasis were studied. For patients, T-cell proliferation tests in response to Candida antigen, Th17 cell proportions, and STAT1 phosphorylation were evaluated through flow cytometry. Expression of IL17A, IL17F and IL22 genes were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. At the same time, whole exome sequencing was performed for all patients. We identified two heterozygous substitutions, one: c.821G\u00a0&amp;gt;\u00a0A (p. R274Q) was found in a multiplex family with three individuals affected, the second one: c.812A\u00a0&amp;gt;\u00a0C (p. Q271P) was found in a sporadic case. Both mutations are located in the coiled-coil domain (CCD) of STAT1. The frequency of Th17 cells, IL17A, IL17F, and IL22 gene expression in patients\u2019 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and T-cell proliferation to Candida antigens were significantly reduced in the patients as compared to healthy controls. An increased STAT1 phosphorylation was observed in patients\u2019 PBMCs upon interferon (IFN)-\u03b3 stimulation as compared to healthy controls. We report two different but neighboring heterozygous mutations, located in exon 10 of the STAT1 gene, in four Iranian patients with CMC, one of whom also had hypothyroidism. These mutations were associated with impaired T cell proliferation to Candida antigen, low Th17 cell proportions, and increased STAT1 phosphorylation upon IFN-\u03b3. We suggest that interfering with STAT1 phosphorylation might be a promising way for potential therapeutic measurements for such patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mmy\/myaa043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,9]],"date-time":"2020-05-09T07:09:36Z","timestamp":1589008176000},"page":"180-188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Functional
