Fig 1 Molecular and functional characterization. A, Pedigree and Sanger sequencing. B, TRNT1 protein structure (PDB ID: 1OU5). Mutation p.R99W is indicated with SIFD-causing mutations.2,4 C, Serum from the patient, his parents, and 4 healthy adult controls was evaluated for IFN-α and IL-6 levels. D, Interferon signature: increased expression level of ISGs in peripheral blood. ISGs, Interferon-stimulated genes; RQ, relative quantification vs 29 healthy controls.

Fig 2 Abnormalities in lymphocyte subsets. A, B-cell immunophenotyping: decrease in CD24++CD38++ and CD24−CD38++ cells in the CD19+CD20+ population. Results shown are representative of n = 2 experiments. B, NK-cell phenotyping: Increase in CD56bright cells in the lymphocyte population. Results shown are representative of n = 3 experiments. C, CD107a expression in CD3−CD56+ cells: unstimulated and stimulated with PHA and K562 target cells.

Fig E4 CD107a expression in PBMCs from a healthy adult control and the patient. Cells were stimulated with K562 target cells and PHA (2.5 μg/mL) for 23 hours at 37°C. CD56 is plotted against CD107a in CD3−CD56+ cells.
