Where this comes from

Abstract

Break <i>et al</i>. (Research Articles, 15 January 2021, eaay5731) suggest that chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis in humans with inborn errors of <i>AIRE</i> and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 is due to excessive interferon-γ production and not to autoantibodies neutralizing interleukin-17 cytokines. We argue that both claims are not conclusively supported by their data and are at odds with 35 years of study.
