PMID:30143481 - Life-threatening Influenza Pneumonitis in a Child With Inherited IRF9 Deficiency. 5 year old Algerian girl homozygous for LOF variant c.991G>A and was hospitalized for severe infection with IAV requiring mechanical ventilation and Tamiflu treatment, and who had a history of recurrent benign bronchiolitis, biliary perforation following measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination at 1 yr of age, and recurrent fevers without a causative pathogen identified.

PMID:30826365 - identifies a homozygous splicing mutation in the IRF9 gene in a family of Portugese origin. The variant, c.577+1G>T (NM_006084), which is located in the donor splice site of introns 5 and 6. The proband is was a 10-year-old boy born at term to healthy consanguineous parents (first cousins of Portuguese origin and residents of Venezuela). From the first year of life, the child displayed a marked susceptibility to viral infections with moderate-to-severe symptoms of disease that resulted in persistent neurological impairment and bronchiectasis. A six month old sibling who has the same homozygous variant has had preventative treatment with IVIG and cotrimoxazole and has not presented with infections.

PMID: 28878077 - During early viral infection, overwhelming antigen exposure can cause functional exhaustion of CD8+ T cells and lead to chronic infection this paper reports on a mouse study which demonstrates that IRF9 plays a role in preventing CD8+ T cell exhaustion.
