Abstract
IKZF1 is a member of the Ikaros transcription factor family. It is involved in the regulation of the development and function of a variety of immune cells. Mutations or aberrant expression of IKZF1 are closely associated with the development of various immune-related diseases, including hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, and autoimmune diseases. In recent years, more and more studies have revealed the important role of IKZF1 in regulating immune responses, maintaining immune tolerance, and inhibiting the overactivation of immune cells. What's more, IKZF1 has been discovered to have a significant connection to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. This review will summarize the role of IKZF1 in autoimmune diseases and its potential clinical applications.
