Description : Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) includes a group of rare disorders with altered
immune responses, selective against Candida, characterized by persistent and/or recurrent
infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes, caused by organisms of the genus
Candida, mainly Candida albicans (Zuccarello et al., 2002). Isolated familial chronic
mucocutaneous candidiasis is distinct from candidiasis with endocrinopathy (240300).
In myeloperoxidase deficiency (254600), susceptibility to candidiasis may be increased.
- Genetic Heterogeneity of Candidiasis Familial candidiasis-1 (CANDF1) maps to chromosome
2p. CANDF2 (212050) is caused by mutation in the CARD9 gene (607212) on chromosome
