Identification of the genetic mutations underlying the ultrarare monogenic conditions STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) and coatomer protein complex subunit alpha (COPA) syndrome revealed a role for the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) immune pathway in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in these conditions. The gene discussed is STING1; the disease is autoimmune interstitial lung disease-arthritis syndrome.
