RNASEH2A-related type 1 interferonopathy

RNASEH2A-related type 1 interferonopathy is a condition caused by a change in the RNASEH2A gene. This change disrupts the normal regulation of the body's type 1 interferon response, a part of the immune system that helps fight infections. The condition is part of a group of disorders called type 1 interferonopathies. In some cases, people with this condition may show features similar to those seen in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, which can affect the brain and other systems. Because the condition can affect individuals in different ways, the range of symptoms may vary. The disruption in the interferon response is a key factor in how this condition develops, and it is an area of ongoing study to understand all the possible effects on the body.

Information about common symptoms and signs is currently limited for this condition.

The cause of RNASEH2A-related type 1 interferonopathy is a variation in the RNASEH2A gene. This genetic variation can lead to abnormal activation of the type 1 interferon pathway, which in some cases is associated with features similar to Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. This condition is part of a broader group known as type 1 interferonopathies, where genetic changes affect how the body responds to the immune system signals.
