This comprehensive review examines genetic associations in type I interferon-related signaling pathways across multiple autoimmune diseases. The authors review evidence linking dysregulated interferon alpha (IFNα) signaling to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and other autoimmune conditions, identifying multiple susceptibility genes including IFIH1, IRF5, STAT4, TYK2, BLK, BANK1, FCGR2A, and TREX1 with well-replicated associations and functional relevance to IFN pathway dysfunction.
About BANK1
The protein encoded by this gene is a B-cell-specific scaffold protein that functions in B-cell receptor-induced calcium mobilization from intracellular stores. This protein can also promote Lyn-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
