Assessment of type I interferon response in routine practice in France in 2022

RMD Open. 2023 Jun;9(2):e003211. doi: 10.1136/rmdopen-2023-003211.

Abstract

An European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology task force recently recommended specific points to consider for exploring type I interferon pathway in patients, highlighting the lack of analytical assays validated for clinical routine. We report here the French experience on a type I interferon pathway assay that has been set up and used routinely since 2018 in Lyon, France.
