Somatic NLRP3 mosaicism in Muckle-Wells syndrome
2015
Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), and chronic, infantile, neurological, cutaneous and articular (CINCA) syndrome are dominantly inherited autoinflammatory diseases associated to gain-of-function NLRP3 mutations. All these diseases are currently considered as different phenotypes of the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). A variable degree of somatic NLRP3 mosaicism has been recently detected in ≈35% of patients with CINCA. However, no data are currently available regarding the relevance of this genetic mechanism in other CAPS phenotypes.
