Abstract excerpt
CLTA4 is relevant for FOXP3(+)Treg cells, and the link between skewed X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and autoimmunity is recognized. The observation of immune dysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked syndrome and multiorgan endocrine autoimmune phenomena in various members of one family, associated with a CTLA4 polymorphism and skewed XCI, provides an in vivo model of how mechanisms of immune...
