JAK Inhibition in Down Syndrome

Dunnick, Cory AEspinosa, Joaquin MNorris, David A

Summary​

People with Down syndrome (DS) display profound immune dysregulation, which could have myriad negative impacts on their health, including the development of various immune and neurological disorders. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that hyperactivation of interferon (IFN) signaling drives immune dysregulation in DS. This proposal aims to complete a clinical trial in adults with DS and immune skin conditions, using a pharmacological inhibitor of IFN signaling, which is expected to have multidimensional therapeutic benefits in this population.
