Abstract excerpt
The interferon-induced helicase C domain-containing protein 1 (IFIH1) is a cytosolic RNA sensor belonging to the pattern-recognition receptor (PPR) family. Activation of PPRs on innate immune cells is widely believed to control the development of virus-induced autoimmunity in myocarditis and subsequent dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We conducted a pilot study to test whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
