Journal ArticleDOI

Exome sequencing links corticospinal motor neuron disease to common neurodegenerative disorders.

TL;DR: Using whole-exome sequencing in combination with network analysis, 18 previously unknown putative HSP genes are identified and validated and link HSP to other neurodegenerative disorders and can facilitate gene discovery and mechanistic understanding of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of human disease phenotypes associated with mutations in TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, SAMHD1, ADAR, and IFIH1.

TL;DR: A robust relationship between mutations in all seven genes with increased type I interferon activity in cerebrospinal fluid and serum, and the increased expression of interferOn‐stimulated gene transcripts in peripheral blood is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of interferon-related biomarkers in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome associated with mutations in TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, SAMHD1, and ADAR: a case-control study

TL;DR: AGS is consistently associated with an interferon signature, which is apparently sustained over time and can thus be used to differentiate patients with AGS from controls, and neutralisation assays suggested that measurable antiviral activity was related toInterferon α production.
