Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-function mutations in IFIH1 cause a spectrum of human disease phenotypes associated with upregulated type I interferon signaling

Gillian I. Rice, +56 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant sensing of nucleic acids can cause immune upregulation and heterozygous mutations in the cytosolic double-stranded RNA receptor gene IFIH1 (also called MDA5) cause a spectrum of neuroimmunological features consistently associated with an enhanced interferon state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis to target: recommendations of an international task force

TL;DR: Recommendations for treating JIA to target, being aware that the evidence is not strong and needs to be expanded by future research, can inform various stakeholders about strategies to reach optimal outcomes for JIA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct interferon signatures and cytokine patterns define additional systemic autoinflammatory diseases

Adriana Almeida de Jesus, +86 more
TL;DR: The IRG-S expands the diagnostic armamentarium in evaluating USAIDs and points to different pathways regulating IRG expression as well as 3 additional autoinflammatory diseases: IL-18-mediated PAP and recurrent MAS, NEMO∆5-associated autoinflammatory syndrome (NEMO-NDAS), and SAMD9L- associated autoinflammatory disease (SAMD 9L-SAAD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic variability and disparities in treatment and outcomes of childhood arthritis throughout the world: an observational cohort study.

Alessandro Consolaro, +143 more
TL;DR: The greater disease burden in lower-resource settings highlights the need for public health efforts aimed at improving equity in access to effective treatments and care for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

cGAS-mediated induction of type I interferon due to inborn errors of histone pre-mRNA processing.

TL;DR: It is established that chromatin without linker histone stimulates cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophile production in vitro more efficiently and that nuclear histones, as key constituents of chromatin, are essential in suppressing the immunogenicity of self-DNA.
