  • DNASE1L3 is an enzyme linked to the breakdown of chromatin from dying cells and is associated with lupus, but its role in interferon signaling in humans is not fully understood.
  • In this study, researchers analyzed five new patients with rare DNASE1L3 mutations, finding that they exhibited a temporary increase in interferon-stimulated genes during disease activity.
  • The findings underscore the severity of DNASE1L3 deficiencies, which often lead to conditions like lupus nephritis and other serious symptoms, with additional patients reviewed revealing a general trend of poor outcomes.
