Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To gain insight into the molecular bases of genetically unexplained periodic fever syndromes (PFS) by screening NLRP12, a gene in which only a nonsense and a splice site mutation have so far been identified, and to assess the functional consequences of the identified missense variation. METHODS: NLRP12 was screened for mutations by direct sequencing. Functional assays were performed in HEK 293T cells...
