These mutations lead to an increase in the phosphorylation of STAT1, also known as pSTAT1.

Additionally, there is a delay in the dephosphorylation process, causing pSTAT1 to remain activated for longer periods.

Furthermore, nuclear dephosphorylation of STAT1 is also impaired due to these mutations.
