Abstract
The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling cascade is an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction pathway that regulates many vital cellular processes, including immune function and hematopoiesis. Human genetic variants that disrupt JAK-STAT signaling are being found to cause a rapidly increasing number of diseases, including both germline-encoded inborn errors of immunity (IEI) and acquired somatic variants, causing a so-called phenocopy of the IEI. Multiple genetic mechanisms are responsible for this growing group of JAK-STAT diseases including loss-of-function, gain-of-function, and dominant negative effects. In this review, we discuss the clinical presentation and pathogenesis of all currently described JAK-STAT defects, as well as provide an overview of the guiding principles to consider in diagnosing and treating these conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is a prestigious publication that features groundbreaking research in the fields of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. This influential journal publishes high-impact research papers that explore various topics, including asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, primary immune deficiencies, occupational and environmental allergy, and other allergic and immunologic diseases. The articles not only report on clinical trials and mechanistic studies but also provide insights into novel therapies, underlying mechanisms, and important discoveries that contribute to our understanding of these diseases. By sharing this valuable information, the journal aims to enhance the diagnosis and management of patients in the future.
