NIH grant awarded to Rockefeller University to study genetic defects in IL-17 immunity causing chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, aiming to improve diagnosis and therapy.
Description
This NIH research grant focuses on investigating genetic causes of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) related to IL-17 immunity. The project aims to explore mechanisms by which mutations impair IL-17 responses, analyze cytokine production, and identify novel genes via genome-wide approaches.
