New IRAK4 Mutations Discovered

Caption

Brain MRI of the 10-month old boy with anti-NMDAR encephalitis obtained on day 4. The axial T2 weighted image (T2WI) in A and B and the axial fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) image in C and D showed high intensity regions in the bilateral thalamus. New "immunity gene" mutations that researchers discovered to be deleterious were found in the infant.
