Sumario:CARD9 is a cytosolic adaptor in myeloid cells, has a critical role in inflammatory disorders, and provides a protective function against microbial pathogen, especially fungal infection. Recently, CARD9 polymorphisms are of interest, showing a positive correlation with the elevated risk of fungal infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and other autoimmune diseases. Mechanistically, CARD9 polymorphisms impair the activation of RelB, a subunit of non-canonical NF-κB, which lead to the reduced cytokine and chemokine production by innate immune cells. In addition, CARD9 polymorphisms show a defective neutrophil accumulation in infectious sites. Furthermore, CARD9 polymorphisms could alter the composition of the gut microbiome. In this review, we summarize the latest findings of CARD9 polymorphisms with respect to inflammatory diseases.
