“…Some genetic etiologies of CMC have been well-described, mutations in some genes like: AIRE, STAT1, STAT3 (2,4,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) Other genetic syndromes are associated with far smaller numbers of cases, such as those due to mutations of IL-17RA, ACT1, IL-17F, PTPN22, CLEC7A, TLR3, CARD 9 (5,6,10,11,12,19,20,21,22,23). There are distinct forms of CMC for which the genetic defects have not yet identified (24).…”
