PTPN2 deficiency: Amping up JAK/STAT

Abstract

Identification of monogenic causes of immune dysregulation provides insight into human immune response and signaling pathways associated with autoimmunity. Here, Jeanpierre et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20232337) identify new germline variants in the gene encoding PTPN2 associated with loss of regulatory function, enhanced JAK/STAT signaling, and early-onset autoimmunity.
