Human OTULIN haploinsufficiency impairs cell-intrinsic immunity to staphylococcal α-toxin
19 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of interindividual clinical variability upon infection with Staphylococcus aureus is unclear. We describe patients with haploinsufficiency for the linear deubiquitinase OTULIN, encoded by a gene on chromosome 5p. Patients suffer from episodes of life-threatening necrosis, typically triggered by S. aureus infection. The disorder is phenocopied in patients with the 5p− (Cri-du-Chat) chromosomal...
