Aberrant activation of the stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathway is a hallmark autoinflammatory disorders such as STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), characterized by systemic inflammation affecting blood vessels, skin, and lungs. Despite its clinical significance, mechanisms linking STING to disease pathology remain poorly defined. In this study, we demonstrated that SAVI mice harboring N153S mutation exhibit diverse phenotypes, subset developing severe colitis...

Inactivating autosomal recessive mutations in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), klotho (KL) and polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminotransferase 3 (GALNT3) genes lead to a rare disorder, hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC). Patients with HFTC present hyperphosphatemia tumor like soft tissue calcifications.
