P02-010 - A novel 24 nucleotide deletion in the TNFRSF1A

TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by episodes of fever usually lasting two to three weeks, associated with severe abdominal pain, arthralgia, skin rash and red and swollen eyes. The age of onset varies from early childhood to adulthood, and the disease affects both sexes equally. Although first cases were described in individuals of Irish-Scottish descent, TRAPS has since been reported world-wide.
