OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the deoxyribonuclease I family. The encoded protein hydrolyzes DNA, is not inhibited by actin, and mediates the breakdown of DNA during apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of systemic lupus erythematosus-16. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

16 pathogenic / likely-pathogenic of 292 ClinVar records.
Conditions with pathogenic or likely-pathogenic variants.

Disease | AutoantibodyPubMed
Conditions in which antibodies against DNASE1L3 are reported. Each links to that disease's full target list.
ReferencesPubMed · IEDB
Publications for DNASE1L3 from three distinct lines of evidence, kept separate because they answer different questions: whether antibodies are directed at the protein, whether a B-cell epitope has been mapped on it, and whether a T-cell epitope has. Each is labelled with its source.

Sources: PubMed — antigen-level antibody evidence from a custom retrieval. Records matching a controlled set of autoantibody terms (the MeSH descriptors Autoantibodies and Autoantigens, with title and abstract term variants) were obtained through NCBI E-utilities, and their titles and abstracts parsed for constructions that direct an antibody at a named protein rather than for co-occurrence. Captured names were resolved against UniProt nomenclature and each antigen adjudicated individually against the source text. Bibliographic records from PubMed and MeSH, U.S. National Library of Medicine; citation metrics from NIH iCite (Hutchins et al., PLoS Biology 2016). Titles link to PubMed; abstracts are not reproduced here. The NLM does not endorse this analysis.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads DNASE1L3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DNASE1L3 could matter depends on whether native DNASE1L3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
DNASE1L3 is annotated as secreted, so native DNASE1L3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label DNASE1L3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
