▶Replication of the association between the C8orf13–BLK region and systemic lupus erythematosus in a Japanese populationReviewIkue Ito et al.(2009)· Arthritis & Rheumatism
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.
▶Variants in interferon‐alpha pathway genes and response to pegylated interferon‐Alpha2a plus ribavirin for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in the hepatitis C antiviral long‐term treatment against cirrhosis trial†‡AssociationN=712Tania Mara Welzel et al.(2009)· Hepatology
In the HALT-C trial of 581 European American patients with advanced chronic hepatitis C, genetic variants in the interferon-alpha pathway were associated with sustained virological response (SVR) to pegylated interferon-alpha-2a plus ribavirin therapy. Key associations included IFNAR1 IVS1-22G (aOR=0.57, p=0.02), IFNAR2 Ex2-33C (aOR=2.09, p=0.02), JAK1 IVS22+112T (aOR=1.66, p=0.04), and ADAR Ex9+14A (aOR=1.67, p=0.03). The TYK2 -2256A promoter variant showed a borderline association in European Americans (OR=1.51, p=0.05) but a strong association in African American patients (p=0.006).
About IRF3
This gene encodes a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. The encoded protein is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP. This complex translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of interferons alpha and beta, as well as other interferon-induced genes. The protein plays an important role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses. Mutations in this gene are associated with Encephalopathy, acute, infection-induced, herpes-specific, 7.
