TLR was started by Barron’s alumnus John Liscio, who acerbically observed that economists can’t forecast the future because they couldn’t get the present right, so he started tracking it for them.

From Barron's

"It wasn't until we put the patients' mutations into cell lines and saw that they led to very convincing TLR hyper-responsiveness that we realized they had the possibility of being sufficient to be disease-causing."

From Science Daily

Barton is hopeful that by publishing the complete list of TLR hypersensitivity mutations, doctors can identify other lupus patients who could benefit from the anti-TLR drugs now in clinical trials.

From Science Daily

"With mouse models, you can start thinking about how, even though the mutations are in the same protein, the different mechanisms of TLR regulation break down, which immune cells get activated as a result, and how this can lead to differences in the symptoms patients suffer from," Rael said.

From Science Daily

"The protein is a very baroque way of trying to make decisions about whether the nucleic acid that you just bound to a TLR is from a virus or from one of your own cells."
