May support RNase L inhibition or allogeneic HCT in OAS1 gain-of-function autoinflammation; leaves open broader validation beyond this case.
Case Report (n=6)
Heterozygous OAS1 gain-of-function variants cause an autoinflammatory immunodeficiency that can be modulated by RNase L inhibition and cured by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Magg et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Polymorphic autoinflammatory immunodeficiency (n=6). Heterozygous OAS1 gain-of-function variants was evaluated on dsRNA-independent activity resulting in RNase L-mediated RNA cleavage, transcriptomic alteration, translational arrest, and apoptosis of immune cells. Heterozygous OAS1 gain-of-function variants caused an autoinflammatory immunodeficiency via dsRNA-independent RNase L-mediated RNA cleavage and apoptosis of monocytes, macrophages, and B cells.
