BACKGROUND
DECTIN-1, a C-type lectin receptor encoded by CLEC7A, mediates antifungal immunity, but its antibacterial role remains unclear. We investigated, using human genetic and animal studies, whether the common loss-of-function CLEC7A Y238∗ variant (rs16910526) influences susceptibility to bacterial respiratory inf...
