Pluripotent stem cell models of Blau syndrome reveal an IFN-γ-dependent inflammatory response in macrophages

Our data support the significance of ligand-independent autoinflammation in the pathophysiology of Blau syndrome. Our comprehensive isogenic disease-specific iPSC panel provides a useful platform for probing therapeutic and diagnostic clues for the treatment of patients with Blau syndrome.
