Abstract excerpt
TBK1 is a serine-tyrosine kinase protein that transmits signals from pattern recognition receptors to the NF-κB pathway leading to production of Type 1 Interferons. Mutations in this protein have been associated with arthritis, vasculitis, herpes simplex encephalitis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In the current study, we characterized the functional consequences of a TBK1-variant bearing a truncation in exon...
