I. Supplemental Methods:
A. Features and Criteria for Classification of patients with CANDLE, AGS and SAVI-like diseases:
1. CANDLE, CANDLE-like classification:
(A diagnosis of “definitive CANDLE” was made based on genetic testing, revealing 3 patients with features consistent with the below criteria (homozygous PSMB8: p.T75M; compound heterozygous PSMB8: p.Q55* and p.S118P; compound heterozygous PSMG2: p.Y223fs*2 and p.N225K) For “CANDLE-like” classification, patients have to have all the required features and could have at least 2 supportive features: Required: • Neutrophilic panniculitis • Systemic inflammation with disease flares • No interstitial lung disease • No white matter disease other than basal ganglia calcification Supportive: • Lipodystrophy • Patchy myositis • Transient lymphopenia with flares • Hepatic steatosis • Metabolic syndrome • Basal ganglia calcification • Soft tissue or vascular calcifications • Primary pulmonary hypertension 2. AGS, or AGS-like disease
(A diagnosis of definitive AGS5 was made on genetic testing of one patient who was positive for a deletion in SAMHD1, the patient had Moya-Moya like disease, a history of stroke at the age 7, panniculitis and superficial soft tissue calcifications) For “AGS-like” classification, patients have to have all the required features and could have at least 2 supportive features: Required: • Presence of white matter disease or Moya-Moya like disease • Presence of Chilblain-like lesions Supportive: • Neutrophilic panniculitis • Transient lymphopenia with flares • Basal ganglia calcifications • Soft tissue or vascular calcifications
3. SAVI-like disease:
For “SAVI-like” classification, patients have to have all the required features and could have at least 2 supportive features: Required: • Peripheral vasculitis and interstitial lung disease Supportive: • Livedo reticularis
8
• Chilblain like-lesions • Cold sensitivity • Gangrene following vasculitic lesions • Raynaud’s disease
Determination of active disease:
For patients seen at the NIH: Active disease was defined at the respective NIH visit and included evidence of systemic inflammation (elevated ESR and CRP) and/or evidence of active organ inflammation (i.e. rashes, lung findings suggesting inflammation (i.e ground glass appearance, or sterile osteomyelitis), or presence of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS)-like features including elevated ferritin, LDH and cytopenias with disease flares.
For patients not seen at the NIH: Clinical information was obtained from the records and from the referring physicians focusing on the day of blood draw. B. Cytokine Analysis:
Serum was collected from patients and healthy controls. Cytokine concentrations were measured using the Bio-Plex system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) in batches including patient control and healthy serum as previously reported (1). The samples were run in 2 batches, batch 1 included 45 patients, 20 with undifferentiated interferonopathies (UIFN) and 25 without UIFN, and 5 healthy controls and batch 2 included 8 patients with an UIFN. Statistical analysis was performed only in samples from batch 1. Since the inter-assay variability is high, to compare batch 1 and batch 2, we generated a ratio for each patient, the means of the normal control that were run with each batch were generated for each cytokine and for each patient and each analyte a ratio was generated of the patient value over the mean of the healthy control for that analyte. Twelve healthy controls were females and 6 were males and the age ranged between 7 months-old and 53 years-old (median 25.5 years-old). Cytokine assays. Serum from five of the healthy controls described above were used in the Luminex assays, three females and 2 males. Age ranged between 7 and 53 years-old (median 11 years-old). C. Genetic analysis (WES and WGS) and potential disease-causing genes variant calls:
Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 19 trios, 1 duo and 4 singletons, whole genome sequencing (WGS) in 36 trios and 1 duo; 5 patients had Sanger sequencing of candidate genes performed only. Confirmatory targeted (Sanger) sequencing of candidate genes detected by WES or WGS was performed. Different sequencing companies were used for the 61 patients who had either WES (Otogenetics, Atlanta, GA, or BGI Genomics, Hong Kong) and WGS (The Broad Institute, Cambridge, MA) performed.
D. Validation of 3/25 gene ratio To test whether NF-kB activation might contribute to the expression of the 3 genes with NF-kB/STAT1” TFBS, we subdivided 28 genes in our IRG-S into the 25-gene with STAT1 TFBS only and calculated a “25-gene STAT1-only” score and the 3-gene with NF-kB and STAT1 TFBS (CXCL10, GBP1 and SOCS1) and calculated a “3-gene STAT1/NF-kB “ score. We selected 11-gene from IPA that harbor NF-kB1/2 TFBS, but no STAT1 TFBS and are expressed in blood and calculated an “11-gene NF-kB-only validation score” that we used for correlation studies.

Step 1. Identification of upstream regulators of the 28 IRGs: To identify upstream regulators of the 28 IRGs and to determine whether the 3 genes that had a different expression pattern in disease groups G2 and G3 (genes: CXCL10, GBP1 and SOCS1) (Supplemental figure 2 and Supplemental figure 3A) have different upstream regulators we used the following resources: 1. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) (QIAGEN Inc.,
https://www.qiagenbioinformatics.com/products/ingenuity-pathway-analysis) 2. MotifMap (http://motifmap-rna.ics.uci.edu) (2, 3) 3. MATCH. Motif enrichment was performed using MATCH in the geneXplain TRANSFAC® +
PROTEOME™ platform (http://genexplain.com/). Promoter sequences (500bp upstream to 100bp downstream of transcription start site) for the 28-gene list were queried using only high-quality matrices from the “minSUM” vertebrate nonredundant set of transcription factor matrices, which has matrix-specific thresholds optimized to minimize the sum of false positive and false negative error rates.
Step 2. Identification of a validation set of genes with NF-kB1 and NF-kB2 transcription factor
binding sites and no STAT1, STAT2 or TYK1 binding sites that are expressed in peripheral blood
cells.
To determine whether the subset of 3 IRGs with NF-kB1 and NF-kB2 TFBS (see Step 1) correlate with genes that have NF-kB1 and NF-kB2 TFBS and no STAT1, STAT2 or TYK1 binding sites and are mainly driven by NFkB activating stimuli, we generated a validation set of target genes with NF-kB1 and NF-kB2 transcription factor binding sites that have no STAT1, STAT2 or TYK1 binding sites and were unlikely to respond to Type-I IFN stimulation. We used Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) (QIAGEN Inc., https://www.qiagenbioinformatics.com/products/ingenuity-pathway-analysis). The validation was performed with RNA-seq data in various patients and controls as described below.
Identification of NFkB1 targets: IPA analysis revealed 166 NFkB1 targets, 127 of those had also a STAT1 binding site and were excluded from the validation set. Of the remaining 39 targets, 17 had very low expression in blood cells (RPKM<0.5) and were excluded. Of the remaining 22 targets, 13 were downregulated in most patients (average z-score within patients < zero) and were excluded. The remaining 9 targets were included in the validation set (AICDA, CCND2, EBI3, GZMB, IFNG, MSR1, SELP, TANK and TLR2). Identification of NFkB2 targets: IPA analysis revealed 36 targets, 26 of those had a STAT1 binding site and were excluded. Of the 10 remaining, 7 targets had low RNA expression in blood cells and were excluded. Of the remaining 3 targets, 2 were not downregulated (positive z-score) and were included (SELL and XIAP). The resulting validation set of 11 genes (AICDA, CCND2, EBI3, GZMB, IFNG, MSR1, TANK, TLR2, SELL, SELP and XIAIP) was used to develop an 11-gene “NF-kB gene validation score”. RNA-seq data were used to generate the 28-gene IFN score, a 3-gene (STAT1 and NFKB TFBS) subscore and a 25-gene (STAT1 only TFBS) subscore. The “11-gene NF-kB-only validation score” was correlated with the 3-gene and the 25-gene subscores respectively. Correlation of nanostring and RNA seq scores:
10
Although all correlations were performed with the RNAseq data, we determined whether the gene scores that could be calculated on nanostring and RNA-seq correlated by using 21 samples that had both gene expression profiling analyses performed (including: 4 healthy controls, 8 patients with CANDLE, 4 with SAVI, 2 with IL-18PAP-MAS, 1 with LRBA deficiency and 2 with NEMO-NDAS). Pearson correlations between nanostring and RNA-seq were performed for the sum of the individual z-scores of 28 genes (28-gene IFN score) as previously calculated (4), the 3 gene score (CXCL10, GBP1 and SOCS1) and a 25-gene score (28-gene – 3-gene score). The correlations were r=0.961, r=0.958 and r=0.969, respectively (p<0.0001 for all 3 correlations, Supplemental Figure 4).
Step 3. Correlations of the “NF-kB-only validation score” (11 genes, AICDA, CCND2, EBI3, GZMB, IFNG, MSR1, TANK, TLR2, SELL, SELP and XIAP) and the 3-gene (sub-score (CXCL10, GBP1 and
SOCS1) in various disease groups
The correlations of the NF-kB score (11 genes) and the 3-gene sub-score were performed in RNA-seq data from whole blood. RNA seq on 19 healthy controls, 21 patients with NOMID, 12 patients with CANDLE, 5 with SAVI, 2 of the 7 patients with IL-18PAP-MAS, the 2 patients with LRBA deficiency, the 3 NEMO-NDAS patients and 3 of 6 patients with SAMD9L mutations were used for correlations between the 3-gene (z-score) or the 25-gene score with the 11-gene NF-kB score (Supplemental Figures 4B and 5)

B.
A. Comparison between 20 patients who had serum levels assessed and had a high IFN score compared to 25 patients who had normal IFN scores and to 5 healthy controls. Mann-Whitney test was used with a p-value of <0.05. Patients with an interferon response gene (IRG) signature had higher levels of IP-10/CXCL10 (7,369 (404.1 – 25,884) vs. 622.1 (191.4 – 3,185) pg/ml, p<0.0001), GROa/CXCL1 (251.6 (74.9 – 1,696) vs. 161.7 (24.9 – 314.8) pg/ml, p=0.0043), MIG/CXCL9 (2,890 (441.9 – 43,205) vs. 737.5 (83.4 – 1,272) pg/ml, p=0.0001), TRAIL (94.8 (18.1 – 633.3) vs. 47.9 (10.7 – 290.0) pg/ml, p=0.0277) and SCF (38.9 (4.3 – 209.8) vs. 20.9 (3.5 – 107.2) pg/ml, p=0.0156). RANTES levels were significantly lower in patients with an IRG signature (28,337 (12,596 – 32,934) in comparison with healthy controls (31,132 (28,326 - 38,306), p=0.050) and with patients in the non-IFN group (29,431 (22,825 – 40,553), p=0.050). The 50 serum samples assessed were run in the same Luminex assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) batch (Batch 1).
B. 48 cytokines tested in 28 patients with an IRS and 25 patients without an IRS. Depicted in the heatmap is the ratio between patient (Pt) and healthy control (HC) concentration (pg/ml) for each analyte; red denotes row maximum and blue denotes row minimum. Different time points for the same patient are marked with a capital letter (A, B or C). Eight out of the 28 patients with an IRS had the cytokines measured in a different Luminex batch (Batch 2) and all 25 patients without an IRS had the cytokines measured in the same Luminex batch. The Pt:HC ratio was calculated using healthy controls ran in the same Luminex batch.

Supplemental Figure 2. Example of 4 genes with the most common pattern of IFN response gene
expression across disease groups pattern compared to 3 genes with a different expression
pattern particularly in groups G1-G4.
Different patterns of elevation of raw counts are found in the various diseases. IFI27 and USP18 belong to a pattern in which the Nanostring counts are highly elevated in CANDLE and SAVI patients but groups 1-4 patients have counts that were barely different from HC and NOMID patients. MX1 and ISG15 belong to a pattern of genes that are elevated in groups 1-4 patients compared to HC and NOMID, but significantly lower than in CANDLE and SAVI. Blue arrows indicate relatively lower counts in groups 1-4. CXCL10, GBP1 and SOCS1 are grouped in an expression pattern with counts that where significantly elevated in groups 2 and 3 (red arrows) compared to HC and NOMID and as high as in CANDLE and SAVI (CXCL10 for G1, G2 and G4) or even significantly higher than in CANDLE and SAVI patients (GBP1 and SOCS1 for G2 and G3 and CXCL10 for G3). Seven out of the 8 patients in group 1 are depicted in the graphs. The pattern analysis and graphs were generated with patient G3-P4 (red circle) still classified as CANDLE-like. She was later found to have a de novo NEMO splice variant and moved to G3-P4. Her expression pattern independently confirms that of the 3 NEMO-NDAS boys (G3-P1, -P2, -P3).

A. The 3-gene subscore (CXCL10, GBP1 and SOCS1) was as high or higher in G1-G4 compared to HC and NOMID with patients in groups G1 (IL-18PAP-MAS) and G4 (SAMD9L-SAAD) having similar elevation as SAVI; but the 25-gene score was significantly lower in G1-G4 compared to CANDLE and SAVI. (This figure includes patient G3-P4, now correctly classified as NEMO-NDAS instead of CANDLE-like (G7). The 3-gene and 25-genes subscores were similar to CANDLE and SAVI in groups G5-G8. Groups G1 (IL-18PAP-MAS), G2 (LRBA def) and G3 (NEMO-NDAS), G4 (SAMD9L-SAAD), G5 (AGS, AGS-like), G6 (MDA5+JDM), G7 (CANDLE, CANDLE-like), G8 (SAVI-like), G9 (misc. other). B.

Supplemental Figure 4. High correlation of RNA-seq-derived and nanostring-derived expression
data is further confirmed by strong correlation of the 3-gene and 25-gene sub-scores obtained
by RNA-seq and nanostring in the same subjects
Gene expression excluding the 28 genes that were assessed on the nanostring assay, were only assessed by RNA-seq; this includes strictly NFKB regulated genes. To correlate the 3 genes with other genes we validated the RNA-seq data by correlating the expression of the 28 IRGs generated in both methods (the RNA seq data set and from the nanostring assay). In panel A, the same samples (n=21) were used to generate raw counts on the nanostring assay and RPKMs expression data by RNAseq. Raw counts and RPKMs correlated highly (r-values between 0.95 and 0.97). Next, we calculated z-scores from the Nanostring counts and correlated them with z-scores generated from the RNA seq RPKMs (see ref 20 for z-score calculation). The z-scores generated by both methods correlated highly (r-values between 0.95 and 0.97). Pearson correlation was used; and all p-values were p<0.001. The following samples were used for the correlation: healthy controls (n=4), patients with CANDLE (n=8), SAVI (n=4), IL-18PAP-MAS (n=2), LRBA deficiency (n=1), NDAS (n=2).

A. Correlation of the 3-gene subscore or the 25-gene subscore with a score generated from 11 NF-kB1/2 regulated genes that do not have STAT1 TF binding sites, in the IFN score negative control population (HC , n=19 and NOMID n=21) and the autoinflammatory interferonopathies (CANDLE (n=12) and SAVI (n=5)), shows a weak correlation between both the 3-gene score (red)(r=0.45) and the 25-gene score (blue)(r=0.51) in NOMID patients but no correlation was seen in CANDLE and SAVI patients, which both had much higher 25-gene than 3-gene subscores.
B. Correlation of RNA seq data scores generated from the 3-gene subscore (red circles and lines) or a 25-gene subscore (blue squares and lines) with the 11-gene NF-kB gene score showed a positive correlation between the 3-gene and the 11-gene scores in disease groups 2 (LRBA), 3 (NEMO-NDAS) and 4 (SAMD9L-SAAD). Patient G3-P4 was not included in the validation.

Supplemental Figure 6. A. Correlation of 28-gene IFN score with serum IL-18, IL-18BP and CXCL9
levels B. Assessment of ratio of IFNg and IFNa regulated genes over all genes in patients with
IL-18PAP-MAS
A. Correlation of the 28-gene IFN score (IRG-S) with serum levels of IL-18, IL-18BP and CXCL9 in 7 patients with IL-18PAP-MAS and 3 patients with NLRC4-MAS. Partial correlations to measures the strength of the linear relationship between two variables, while adjusting for the effect of other variables were performed using SAS. IL-18 or IL-18BP or CXCL9 serum levels were correlated with the 28 gene-IFN score. One -sided p-values to determine a presumed positive correlation were denoted. The correlation of IL-18 with the IFN score was weak and borderline significant.
B. Assessment of the ratio of IFNg-, and IFNa-regulated genes over all genes in patients with IL-18PAP-MAS patients (G1). Given the IFNg inducing function of IL-18, we defined IFNa and IFNg induced genes per ref. Liu SY et al, PNAS, 2012 (highlighted in yellow) and generated a ratio of 9 IFNa and IFNg- induced genes over all 28 genes. Two genes, CXCL10 and SOCS1 have IFNa, IFNg

When CXCL10 and SOCS1 removed from the ratio, the ratio was highest in IL-18PAP-MAS and indicated a significant difference from NEMO-NDAS and LRBA deficiency (data not shown). Nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was used to compare groups, p-values are <0.01 and >0.001.
Supplemental Figure 7. Comparison of 3/25 gene ratio in other IFNopathies and diseases with
presumed Type-I IFN contribution
A ratio between the nanostring normalized counts of 3 IFN response genes which correlated with the 11-gene NF-kB score in G2 (NDAS), G3 (LRBA) and G4 (SAAD) and the 25 IFN gene genes with no NF-kB binding sites that did not correlate with the 11-gene NF-kB score (referred to as: 3/25
ratio) was calculated. Depicted in the graph are the statistical significances (nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test) from the comparisons of each group with CANDLE and SAVI patients combined: HC (healthy control) and NOMID combined p<0.0001, Group 2 (=LRBA deficiency) p=0.0005, Group 3 (=NEMO-NDAS) p<0.0001, Group 5 (=Aicardi Goutières Syndrome (AGS)) p=0.9102, childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) p=0.5395, juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) p=0.3275, Group 6 (=anti-MDA5 autoantibody positive JDM) p=0.5742, otulin-related autoinflammatory syndrome (ORAS), one patient no statistical analysis done and deficiency of ADA2 (DADA2) disease p=0.3117. ns: not significant. Red shade area indicates a high 3/25-gene ratio, blue shade area indicates low ratio and white area indicates normal ratio. All of the 3 cSLE and 3 JDM samples had high 28-gene IFN scores and 3 of the 5 DADA2 samples had high 28-gene IFN scores. The 2 DADA2 samples with low 3/25 gene ratio (<0.07, blue range), had elevated 28-gene IFN score (60.4 and 131). This figure correctly includes the female patient with NEMO-NDAS as G3-P4.

F Of 65 patients tested for IRG-S score elevation, 36 had elevated IFN response gene and 29 patients were negative. Four of the 29 patients with a normal IRG-S score at the time of testing were later included in one of the disease groups of patients with an elevated IRG-S score. An additional patient who did not have an IRG-S score testing done, had a post-mortem genetic diagnosis of SAAD and was added to the group of patients with an elevated IRG-S score. Therefore, the final number of subjects in the group of patients with a diagnosis related to a “positive” IRG-S score was 41, and 25 patients were listed with “negative IRG-S scores”.

Supplemental Table 9. Proposed Disease Criteria for Patients in Both Interferonopathies and Non-interferonopathies Groups
Disease Group
Number Disease Name Disease Criteria to define a disease
group before genetic evaluation Current Disease Criteria after genetic and
immunologic Evaluation
IFNopathies
G1 IL-18PAP-MAS ILD, interferon signature Novel disease; No genetic diagnosis: high IL-18 levels, biopsy proven PAP or CT consistent with moist infiltrate, clubbing, normal to mildly elevated 28 IFN score and variable 3/25 gene ratio
G2 LRBA-deficiency neutrophilic/lymphocytic panniculitis and IFN signature (CANDLE-like)
Known disease, expanded phenotype; Genetic diagnosis: LRBA LOF mutations with CTLA4 recycling defect, IFN signature with high 3/25 gene ratio >0.15
G3 NEMO-NDAS neutrophilic/lymphocytic panniculitis and IFN signature (CANDLE-like)
Novel disease; Genetic diagnosis: NEMO D5 splice variant, IFN signature with high 3/25 gene ratio >0.15 and panniculitis
G4 SAMD9L-SAAD neutrophilic/lymphocytic panniculitis and IFN signature (CANDLE-like)
Novel disease; Genetic diagnosis: SAMD9L truncating GOF mutation, panniculitis, IFN signature with normal to mildly elevated 28 IFN score and variable 3/25 gene ratio
G5 AGS/AGS-like white matter disease and IFN signature No unifying genetic diagnosis for patients with no known AGS mutation: white matter disease and IFN signature (AGS with known disease-causing mutation)
G6 Myositis + positive anti-MDA5 autoantibody
ILD, Gottron's papules and IFN signature, diagnosed as anti-MDA5 positive JDM when anti-MDA5 antibody tests were positive
Clinical diagnosis; No genetic diagnosis: myositis, anti-MDA5 autoantibody positive JDM
45
G7 CANDLE/CANDLE like
neutrophilic panniculitis and IFN signature
Genetic diagnosis of CANDLE for 3 patients, novel CANDLE-causing gene, PSMG2. No unifying diagnosis for 3 CANDLE-like patients
G8 SAVI-like peripheral acral (chilblain like vasculopathy) in context of interstitial lung disease and IFN signature
No unifying genetic diagnosis: peripheral acral (chilblain like vasculopathy) in context of ILD and IFN signature
G9 Other positive IFN signature in blood and not fulfilling any criteria above, and no other patient had similar disease manifestations
No unifying clinical diagnoses. No genetic diagnoses: no change of diagnostic criteria from entry
Non-IFNopathies
GN1 CRMO-like presence of sterile osteomyelitis Clinical diagnosis; No unifying genetic diagnosis: no unifying pathogenic diagnosis
GN2 CAPS-like fever and urticarial rashes and inflammation and organ damage in a CAPS-like pattern (neutrophilic aseptic meningitis, hearing loss due to cochleitis)
Possible genetic hypothesis: rare variants in NLRP3, that are all inherited from a parent, may be low penetrance variants that modify/predispose to a CAPS-like clinical phenotype
GN3 Periodic fever syndrome
periodic fevers with episodes of remission in between attacks
No unifying clinical diagnoses. No genetic diagnoses: no change of diagnostic criteria from entry
GN4 sJIA-like disease with MAS
inflammatory flares associated with ferritin elevation, drop in platelets, increase in LFTs and LDH
Clinical diagnosis; No genetic diagnosis: Inflammatory flares associated with ferritin elevation, drop in platelets, increase in LFTs and LDH, all patients had elevated serum IL-18 levels and a IL-18/CXCL9 ratio for greater than 1 consistent with other patients who have high IL-18 states and a predisposition to MAS.
46
GN5 Other not fulfilling any criteria above and no other patient had similar disease manifestations
No unifying clinical diagnoses. No genetic diagnoses: cannot be classified with the above
ILD, interstitial lung disease; PAP, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis; CT, computed tomography; LOF, loss-of-function; GOF, gain-of-function; NDAS, NEMO deleted exon 5 associated autoinflammatory syndrome; MAS, macrophage activation syndrome; SAAD, SAMD9L-associated autoinflammatory disease; CANDLE, chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature; AGS, Aicardi-Goutières syndrome; JDM, juvenile dermatomyositis; CAPS, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome; sJIA, systemic
