High-resolution transcriptional impact of AIRE: effects of pathogenic variants p.Arg257Ter, p.Cys311Tyr, and polygenic risk variant p.Arg471Cys
22 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: The Autoimmune Regulator, AIRE, acts as a transcriptional regulator in the thymus, facilitating ectopic expression of thousands of genes important for the process of negative T-cell selection and immunological tolerance to self. Pathogenic variants in the gene encoding AIRE are causing Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), defined by multiorgan autoimmunity and chronic mucocutaneous...
