Abstract excerpt
Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is widely recognized as a risk locus for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Risk gene and IRF5 activation is triggered through toll-like receptor signaling. In myeloid cells, this leads to production of type I interferon and inflammatory cytokines, with enhanced production in cells of individuals harboring IRF5 risk alleles. Mouse models have also demonstrated the importance...
