Case Report: ISG15 deficiency caused by novel variants in two families and effective treatment with Janus kinase inhibition
5 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
ISG15 deficiency is a rare disease caused by autosomal recessive variants in the ISG15 gene, which encodes the ISG15 protein. The ISG15 protein plays a dual role in both the type I and II interferon (IFN) immune pathways. Extracellularly, the ISG15 protein is essential for IFN-γ-dependent anti-mycobacterial immunity, while intracellularly, ISG15 is necessary for USP18-mediated downregulation of IFN-α/β...
