Latest paper from us. Led by @JoeMackie6. New insights into how novel variants in the N terminal domain of STAT3 can disrupt STAT3 function and cause human disease.
Scientists identify a mutant #STAT3 protein in a patient with hyper-IgE syndrome, which forms dimers with wild-type STAT3 that have impaired transcriptional activity. @JoeMackie6 @Tangye_Lab @GarvanInstitute scim.ag/3UgIqNx

It was great to collaborator yet again with @ryangrui, many friends in the @casanova_lab, my long term collaborator @DrCindyMa, @GuerinAntoine6 to help bring this paper to fruition. Science really is amazing ! 🧬 🧪

1/ Delighted to share our paper in @JExpMed today, led by @IrisFagniez and @ryangrui, two trainees who have both recently started exciting new chapters in their careers: MD-PhD training at @harvardmed @MIT and Assistant Professorship at @bcmhouston!

Terrific work by @ErikaDellaMina1 identifying a novel pathogenic CARD9 variant, & identifying CD4 T cell defects that likely contribute to CMC in this and other CARD9 def patients.
JCI insight Verified account @JCI_insight May 8
Since the first description of inherited CARD9 deficiency in 2009, nearly 100 patients with biallelic germline #CARD9 mutations have been reported.

doi.org/10.1172/jci.in…
Here, Erika Della Mina @ErikaDellaMina1 & team @GarvanInstitute report on a patient with severe #FungalInfections carrying a novel homozygous nonsense CARD9 variant (c.673A>T/p.K225*) that results in a truncated protein unable to mediate innate immunity, CD4+ T cell intrinsic IL-17 immunity, and Candida-specific T-cell response.

The figure: Identification of a novel homozygous nonsense K225*/K225* variant in CARD9 in a single patient with recurrent fungal infections.
