The TREX1 gene encodes a highly efficient DNA exonuclease that plays an important role in maintaining DNA homeostasis in the cytoplasm. TREX1 mutations lead to a spectrum of type I interferonopathies that are characterized by systemic inflammation, high blood levels of autoantibodies, and spontaneously activated immunity. The TREX1-P212fs mutation is thought to be linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)....
