Three functional variants of IFN regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) define risk and protective haplotypes for human lupus.

TL;DR: Evidence is found for three functional alleles of IRF5: the previously described exon 1B splice site variant, a 30-bp in-frame insertion/deletion variant of exon 6 that alters a proline-, glutamic acid-, serine- and threonine-rich domain region, and a variant in a conserved polyA+ signal sequence that alters the length of the 3′ UTR and stability of IRf5 mRNAs.

TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of genes that are involved in both innate and adaptive immunity in Sjögren's syndrome, including TNFAIP3, PTTG1, PRDM1, DGKQ, FCGR2A, IRAK1BP1, ITSN2 and PHIP, among others.

Activation of the type I interferon system in primary Sjogren's syndrome : a possible etiopathogenic mechanism

TL;DR: Patients with primary SS have an activated type I IFN system that promotes the autoimmune process by a vicious circle-like mechanism, with increased autoantibody production and formation of more endogenous IFNalpha inducers.
