Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF SURREY Several rare immune disorders are caused by mutations in the patient’s DNA. The University of Surrey and its collaborators found that targeting the mutated pathways with new drugs offers new hope for people suffering from rare conditions such as immunodeficiencies. The multidisciplinary team looked at a genetic mutation called biallelic PI4KA,...

Scientists discover new T cells and genes related to immune disorders
by RIKEN A newly developed method called ReapTEC allowed the discovery of thouands of active bidirectional enhancers. Further anaylis of GWAS data revelaed that various immune-mediated diseases, like multipkle sclerosis and rheumatoisd arthritis, are related to genetic variations within these enhancers.
