This observation might be relevant to human psoriasis because it has been reported that the levels of TWEAK and its receptor Fn-14 are elevated in human psoriatic lesions (Cheng et al., 2015), and it is well established that TWEAK/Fn14 signalling induces degradation of TRAF2 and activation of non-canonical NF-κB signalling (Saitoh et al., 2003; Vince et al., 2008). The gene discussed is TNFSF12; the disease is psoriasis.
