Human disease phenotypes associated with mutations in TREX1.

Considering that it is a single exon gene encoding a 314 amino acid protein, the genotype-phenotype landscape of TREX1 is remarkably complex. Here we briefly describe the human diseases so-far associated with mutations in TREX1, which include Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, familial chilblain lupus, systemic lupus erythematosus and retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy.
