“…Multiple other cytokine receptors also signal through combinations of four JAKs and seven STAT proteins, for example, JAK1 is also used in signalling by IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, IL-21, IL-27, IL-6 family cytokines and IL-10 family cytokines4. To date, germline mutations in two out of the four known Janus kinases, JAK3 and TYK2, have been found in PID patients6789. Somatic mutations in JAK2 have also been shown to cause clonal myeloproliferative disorders, for example, polycythemia vera and idiopathic erythrocytosis1011, whereas somatic JAK1 mutations have been associated with gynaecologic cancers12.…”
