A loss-of-function IFNAR1 allele in Polynesia underlies severe viral diseases in homozygotes

Bastard et al. report a loss-of-function IFNAR1 variant that is surprisingly common (allele frequency >1%) in individuals of western Polynesian ancestry, while it is absent or extremely rare elsewhere. Homozygotes for this allele are prone to severe viral diseases.
