Abstract excerpt
Melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) is a crucial RIG-I-like receptor RNA helicase enzyme encoded by IFIH1 in humans. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IFIH1 results in fatal genetic disorders such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and Singleton-Merten syndrome, and in increased risk of type I diabetes in humans. In this study, we chose four different amino acid substitutions of the MDA5 protein...
