Type I interferonopathies: mendelian type I interferon up-regulation

Curr Opin Immunol. 2015 Feb:32:7-12. doi: 10.1016/j.coi.2014.10.005. Epub 2014 Oct 30.

Abstract

The concept of grouping Mendelian disorders associated with an up-regulation of type I interferon has only recently been suggested. Here we discuss the progress being made in the delineation and understanding of this novel set of inborn errors of immunity, the human type I interferonopathies.
