Immunopharmacology Comments
IFNAR1 is a subunit of the functional receptor for type I interferons (NOT interferon γ). Type I interferons (IFN) exhibit an established anti-viral action. However, type I IFN signalling also appears to play a role in impaired resistance to a range of other pathogens (e.g. bacterial infection) [2-3]. A rare mutation in IFNAR1, identified in the Chinese population, that impairs type I IFN signalling, is associated with increased resistance to tuberculosis infection and reduced TB symptoms [5].

Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Insertion/deletion
Species:  Human
Description:  An in-frame deletion of a nucleotide codon that corresponds to a proline deletion in IFNAR1, reduces type I interferon binding affinity and increases resistance to tuberculosis infection and reduces TB pathology.
