IFNL4: Notable variants and associated phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Interferon lambda proteins activate the JAK-STAT signalling pathway, resulting in upregulation of genes with antiviral effects. The interferon lambda family was initially thought to be redundant to the interferon alpha family, which signals through the same pathway, except for the more limited expression of the IFNLR1 receptor. However, recent studies show that interferon lambdas uniquely protect tissue barriers...
