De Novo Gain-Of-Function Variations in LYN Associated With an Early-Onset Systemic Autoinflammatory Disorder.

This study demonstrates the pathogenicity of the first 3 LYN variations identified in SAID patients and delineates the phenotypic spectrum of a disease entity characterized by severe, early-onset, systemic inflammatory disease affecting neonates with no family history of SAID. All 3 LYN variations affect the same tyrosine residue located in the C-terminus of Lyn, thereby demonstrating the critical role of this residue in the proper regulation of Lyn activity in humans.
