Abstract excerpt
The NF-κB signaling pathway coordinates inflammation, cell survival, and proliferation, while restraining excessive cell death to maintain immune homeostasis. Truncating mutations in RELA, encoding the NF-κB subunit p65, have been linked to autoinflammation and autoimmunity, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We investigated 6 patients from 5 unrelated families carrying heterozygous...
