Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis
Persistent or recurrent Candida infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes caused by changes in genes such as STAT1, IL17RA, IL17RC, IL17F and TRAF3IP2.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing the cause guides long-term antifungal treatment and, for STAT1 gain-of-function, monitoring for autoimmunity and aneurysms and consideration of targeted JAK-inhibitor therapy.

- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
- Stretches short reads find hard
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 2.4 kb of the gene's 16.5 kb; 2,163 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads IL17RC
4
positions in IL17RC where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 16.5 kb of IL17RC, introns included, not only the 2.4 kb of exons.
