“…Exome capture was performed with the Agilent SureSelect Human all-exon kit 71 MB (V4+UTR) (Agilent Technologies). For this study, we restricted our analysis to 14 core genes of the IL-12/IFN-γ axis: ( IFNG, IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IL12A, IL12B, IL12RB1, IL12RB2, IL23A, IL23R, JAK1, JAK2, STAT1, STAT4 and TYK2 ) 20 . All calls with a read coverage ≤4x and a phred-scaled SNP quality of ≤30 were filtered out.…”
