A20 Haploinsufficiency in East Asia

A20, encoded by the TNFAIP3 gene, is a negative regulator of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-nuclear factor-κB signaling. It was recently demonstrated that A20 haploinsufficiency (HA20), caused by a heterozygous mutation in the TNFAIP3 gene, can present as an early onset autoinflammatory disease resembl...

It was recently demonstrated that A20 haploinsufficiency (HA20), caused by a heterozygous mutation in the TNFAIP3 gene, can present as an early onset autoinflammatory disease resembling Behçet’s disease (BD). In addition to autoinflammatory symptoms, HA20 was also reported to be associated with autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency.

Patients with HA20 in East Asia developed recurrent fever more frequently than patients in other regions, but were less likely to develop typical BD symptoms such as skin rashes and genital ulcers. In addition, patients with HA20 in East Asia had low rates of complication with autoimmune diseases and low autoantibody detection rates.
