Type I interferonopathies are a broad category of conditions associated with increased type I interferon gene expression and include monogenic autoinflammatory diseases and non-Mendelian autoimmune diseases such as dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Presenting symptoms may mimic non-Mendelian autoimmune diseases, including vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus, leading to delayed or missed diagnosis.

Generalized limb edema and dysphagia are rare presentations of dermatomyositis.
