Abstract excerpt
DDX41 (DEAD‑box helicase 41) is a member of the largest family of RNA helicases. The DEAD-box RNA helicases share a highly conserved core structure and regulate all aspects of RNA metabolism. The functional role of DDX41 in innate immunity is also highly conserved. DDX41 acts as a sensor of viral DNA and activates the STING-TBK1-IRF3-type I IFN signaling pathway. Germline heterozygous variants in DDX41 have been...
