Introduction: The interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a member of the IRF family of transcription factors, plays a major role in the regulation of numerous aspects of an immune response and has increasingly been surveyed to determine the aetiology and pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the transcriptional levels of IRF7 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the impact of promoter methylation on IRF7 mRNA expression in SSc patients compared to healthy controls.
Methods: PBMCs were obtained from confirmed 40 naïve SSc cases and 20 healthy controls for IRF-7 expression and methylation analysis.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is the most common hereditary bone marrow failure syndrome, with an incidence of 1 in 5,000,000. This disease is caused by an alteration in one of the 23 genes associated with the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway, which is responsible for repairing interstrand bridges generated during homologous recombination. FA has been associated with a predisposition to other types of neoplasm.
