PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome and Immune Dysregulation
Carriers of a pathogenic germline mutations in the PTEN gene, a well-known tumor suppressor gene, are at increased risk of multiple benign and malignant tumors, e.g. breast, thyroid, endometrial and colon cancer.

Arsenic-Induced Carcinogenesis and Immune Dysregulation [PDF]
Arsenic, a metal ubiquitously distributed in the environment, remains an important global health threat. Drinking arsenic-contaminated water is the major route of human exposure. Exposure to arsenic contributes to several malignancies, in the integumentary, respiratory, hepatobiliary, and urinary systems.

The renal clear cell carcinoma immune landscape
A comprehensive evaluation of the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) immune landscape was found using 584 RNA-sequencing datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we identified 17 key dysregulated immune-associated genes in ccRCC based on ...

Hyperfunctional complement C3 promotes C5-dependent atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome in mice [PDF]
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is frequently associated in humans with loss-of-function mutations in complement-regulating proteins or gain-of-function mutations in complement-activating proteins.

Cytokine release syndrome in COVID-19 patients, a new scenario for an old concern. The fragile balance between infections and autoimmunity [PDF]
On 7 January 2020, researchers isolated and sequenced in China from patients with severe pneumonitis a novel coronavirus, then called SARS-CoV-2, which rapidly spread worldwide, becoming a global health emergency.

A defect in COPI-mediated transport of STING causes immune dysregulation in COPA syndrome
Pathogenic COPA variants cause a Mendelian syndrome of immune dysregulation with elevated type I interferon signaling1,2. COPA is a subunit of coat protein complex I (COPI) that mediates Golgi to ER transport3.

Actin Remodeling Defects Leading to Autoinflammation and Immune Dysregulation
A growing number of monogenic immune-mediated diseases have been related to genes involved in pathways of actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Increasing evidences associate cytoskeleton defects to autoinflammatory diseases and primary immunodeficiencies.

The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Down Syndrome and COVID-19: A Perfect Storm?
People with Down syndrome show signs of chronic immune dysregulation, including a higher prevalence of autoimmune disorders, increased rates of hospitalization during respiratory viral infections, and higher mortality rates from pneumonia and sepsis.
