Article Synopsis
  • - Two cases of chilblain lupus erythematosus (CLE) were reported that may have been triggered by ultraviolet (UV) nail lamps.
  • - The cases, alongside existing literature, indicate a potential connection between the use of UV nail lamps and the development or reactivation of CLE.
  • - More research is necessary to verify this link, but healthcare providers should be cautious about the risks associated with UV nail lamps, particularly for patients with conditions sensitive to light.

Article Synopsis
  • UNC93B1 is a protein involved in signaling for Toll-like receptors, which are important for the immune response.
  • Mutations in UNC93B1 (I317M, G325C, L330R, R466S, and R525P) have been linked to conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and chilblain lupus (CBL), exhibiting both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance patterns.
  • Different mutations impact the activity of TLR7 and TLR8 differently, suggesting that specific mutations in UNC93B1 lead to varying disease mechanisms for SLE and CBL.
