Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is an early-onset, genetic disease characterized by recurrent fever, multifocal lesions of the brain, and systemic autoimmunity. We report on 3 AGS patients, 2 siblings with an RNASEH2A gene mutation and 1 patient with a SAMHD1 gene mutation. Serial analysis of peripheral blood from all 3 AGS patients showed consistently elevated expression of the interferon-stimulated genes...
