• A homozygous non-synonymous variant in IL6ST (p.(Arg281Gln)) was described in a patient with craniosynostosis and retained deciduous teeth. Findings were supported using a mouse model with the missense variant which resulted in lower litter sizes, facial synostosis, and teeth abnormalities. The model phenocopies aspects of IL11RA deficiency in humans and mice (Schwerd et al., 2020).
• A patient with a homozygous variant in IL6ST presented with recurrent infections, eczema, bronchiectasis, high IgE, eosinophilia, defective B cell memory, and an impaired acute-phase response, as well as skeletal abnormalities including craniosynostosis. They were shown to harbour a p.(Asn404Tyr) missense substitution (Schwerd et al., 2017).
