A human immune dysregulation syndrome characterized by severe hyperinflammation with a homozygous nonsense Roquin-1 mutation

Roquin-1 is a posttranscriptional regulator that controls the expression of many immune-related genes such as ICOS and TNFA. Here, the authors report a homozygous R688* loss of function mutation in Roquin-1 in a patient with syndromic uncontrolled hyperinflammation associated with immune cell activa...

Description
Summary:Roquin-1 is a posttranscriptional regulator that controls the expression of many immune-related genes such as ICOS and TNFA. Here, the authors report a homozygous R688* loss of function mutation in Roquin-1 in a patient with syndromic uncontrolled hyperinflammation associated with immune cell activation and hypercytokinemia.
