Great study in @jexpmed.bsky.social.
IFNAR1 or IFNAR2 complete deficiency leads to severe viral disease. Here, authors identify 11 mutations where heterozygosity predisposes to severe viral disease by negative dominance. 1 is common. Paper: rupress.org/jem/article/...

This study identifies 11 IFNAR1 alleles impairing IFN-α/ω responses but sparing IFN-β, including an allele common in Southern China (P335del). Heterozygous
