Autosomal recessive deficiency of the IFNAR1 or IFNAR2 chain of the human type I IFN receptor abolishes cellular responses to IFN-α, -β, and -ω, underlies severe viral diseases, and is globally very rare, except for IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 deficiency in Western Polynesia and the Arctic, respectively. We report 11 human IFNAR1 alleles, the products of which impair but do not abolish responses to IFN-α and -ω without affecting responses to IFN-β. Ten of these alleles are rare in all populations studied, but the remaining allele (P335del) is common in Southern China (minor allele frequency ≈2%).

The goal of our study was to explore the association of the polymorphisms in the JAK/STAT pathway among Moroccan COVID-19 patients, using a case-control approach. Next-generation sequencing was employed to investigate the IFNAR1, IFNAR2, JAK1, TYK2, STAT2, and IRF9 genes within the JAK/STAT pathway. We also performed an in silico study to examine the rare variants in this pathway.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the main cause of chronic renal failure. This study explored the potential immunomodulation-related genes (IRGs) in DN using bioinformatics.
Methods: IRGs were identified using GeneCards, and differentially expressed genes were identified using the GSE99339, GSE96804, and GSE30122 datasets.

Excessive inflammatory response is a hallmark of severe COVID-19. This study investigated the associations between interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression, genetic variation in the interferon α/β receptor 2 (IFNAR2) gene, and COVID-19 mortality. We investigated 67 patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19.
