Alu overexpression leads to increased double-stranded RNA in dermatomyositis
2024-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition characterized by a high interferon signature of unknown etiology. Because genes constitute only <2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore the role of the non-coding genome in disease pathogenesis. Our genomes include roughly 1.2 million Alu elements occupying about 10% of the genome and can form double-stranded (ds)RNA capable of triggering MDA5 leading to interferon...
