From Interferon Signature to the Clinical Landscape: Type I Interferonopathies

Arthritis RheumatolPublished Descriptive cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our findings highlight the clinical and molecular diversity of interferonopathies and underscore the possible diagnostic utility of CXCL10 levels.

Study context

Population
Patients with clinical or genetic findings consistent with type I interferonopathies (suspected enhanced IFN-I signaling)
Participants
46 patients
Exposure
Genetically confirmed vs Undifferentiated interferonopathies
Outcome
Molecular diagnosis rate and IFN signature positivity

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Molecular diagnosis established
37 of 46 (80%)
IFN signature positive (of 34 evaluable)
31 of 34 (91%)
Median IFN score higher in patients
P < 0.0001
CXCL10 levels higher in patients and correlated with IFN scores
rs = 0.4994, P = 0.0026

Observational data: associations, not effects.
