Autoinflammatory Flashcards

1
Q

NLRP3 Gainer mutation

A

Muckle Wells syndrome

Familial cold auto-inflammatory syndrome

Chronic infantile cutaneous articular syndrome

All autosomal dominant - gainer mutation
All encode crypopyrin (stimulates ASC –> procaspase 1 –> IL-1, NfkB)

Q

MEFV gene mutation

A

Familial Mediterranean Fever

MEFV encodes Pyrin-Marenostrin which is a negative regulator of ASC

Autosomal recessive

Loss of Pyrin-Marenostrin leads to increased activation of ASC by cryopyrin –> inflammation in neutrophils

Epidemiology
Sephardic>Ashkenazy Jews
Armenian, Turkish and Arabic people

Clinical presentation
Periodic fevers lasting 48-96 hours associated with:
Abdominal pain due to peritonitis
Chest pain due to pleurisy and pericarditis
Arthritis

Treatment
Colchicine 500ug bd - binds to tubulin in neutrophils and disrupts neutrophil functions including migration and chemokine secretion

Anakinra (Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist)
Etanercept (TNF alpha inhibitor)
