Abstract excerpt
Cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 (CIAS1) gene is a member of the NALP subfamily of the CATERPILLER protein family that is expressed predominantly in peripheral blood leukocytes, which is to regulate apoptosis or inflammation through the activation of NF-kappaB and caspase. Recent genetic analyses suggested an association between inflammation and oxidative stress-related genes in the development of...
