Learning while treating: Gain-of-function STAT6 variants in severe allergic disease

Tukisa D Smith et al. Cell Rep Med. .

Abstract

In an era of rapid identification of inborn errors of immunity, Sharma et al.1 report novel heterozygous gain-of-function variants in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) gene in individuals with severe and early onset multi-systemic allergic disease.
