TREX1 acts in concert with the SET complex in granzyme A-mediated apoptosis, and mutations in TREX1 cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and familial chilblain lupus. Here, we report monoallelic frameshift or missense mutations and one 3' UTR variant of TREX1 present in 9/417 individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus but absent in 1,712 controls (P = 4.1 x 10(-7)). We demonstrate that two mutant TREX1 alleles alter subcellular targeting. Our findings implicate TREX1 in the pathogenesis of SLE.
TREX1在颗粒酶A介导的细胞凋亡中与SET复合物协同发挥作用,TREX1的突变会导致Aicardi-Goutières综合征和家族性冻疮性狼疮。在此,我们报告了在417例系统性红斑狼疮患者中有9例存在TREX1的单等位基因移码或错义突变以及1个3'UTR变异体,而在1712名对照者中未发现(P = 4.1×10⁻⁷)。我们证明两个突变的TREX1等位基因改变了亚细胞定位。我们的研究结果表明TREX1参与了系统性红斑狼疮的发病机制。
