The pathogenic T387A missense mutation in the gene encoding signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 exhibits a differential gene expression profile.

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygous gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the interferon-driven transcription factor STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) cause chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). In this study, we characterized the molecular basis of a CMC-associated missense mutation by introducing a threonine-to-alanine exchange in the STAT1 DNA-binding domain at position 387. This substitution had previously...
