Background: Signal transducer and activator 1 (STAT-1) mutations are rare and have been implicated in combined immunodeficiency, enhanced tumorigenesis, and vascular defects.
Methods: A 60-year-old woman with a novel STAT-1 mutation and resulting immunodeficiency, squamous cell carcinoma, and vascular disease presented with profuse epistaxis secondary to rupture of an aberrant artery that she developed in part because of this mutation. After unsuccessful posterior packing, embolization was initiated but subsequently aborted because of a bovine origin carotid artery and a history of multiple carotid dissections.
Results: After repeat posterior packing, hemostasis was achieved. No additional episodes of epistaxis occurred in the subsequent 13 months.
Conclusion: Vascular anomalies can present challenges in epistaxis management. In patients with conditions known to cause vascular anomalies, it is critical to obtain vascular imaging before intervention.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis due to signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 mutation in a Saudi patient: a case report.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a primary immunodeficiency condition caused by a genetic abnormality that increases the risk of recurrent and persistent skin, nail, and mucous membrane infections with Candida species, typically . Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gene mutation is a genetic trigger that causes CMC, which increases the risk of infections, multisystem disorders, and cancer susceptibility. We describe the first case of a Saudi female patient with clinical features of CMC with an underlying (STAT1) gene mutation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the role of the STAT-1 signaling pathway in periodontal inflammation and the potential for drug-gene interactions involving STAT-1 receptors, utilizing graph attention networks (GATs) for analysis.
- It used a dataset of 215 drug-gene interactions to train a GAT model, which comprised two layers and was visualized using tools like Cytoscape to understand biological networks.
- Despite the effort, the GAT model exhibited low accuracy, attributed to data limitations and complexity, indicating challenges in effectively capturing all relevant interactions for therapeutic applications.

Background: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) often lack specific disease models and personalized management. Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-1 gain of function (GoF) is such example of an IEI with diverse clinical phenotype with unclear pathomechanisms and unpredictable response to therapy. Limitations in obtaining fresh samples for functional testing and research further highlights the need for patient-specific ex vivo platforms.

Interferons (IFN) are crucial antiviral and immunomodulatory cytokines that exert their function through the regulation of a myriad of genes, many of which are not yet characterized. Here, we reveal that lipin-2, a phosphatidic acid phosphatase whose mutations produce an autoinflammatory syndrome known as Majeed syndrome in humans, is regulated by IFN in a STAT-1-dependent manner. Lipin-2 inhibits viral replication both in vitro and in vivo.
