High incidence of <i>NLRP3</i> somatic mosaicism in patients with chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular syndrome: Results of an international multicenter collaborative study

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular (CINCA) syndrome, also known as neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), is a dominantly inherited systemic autoinflammatory disease. Although heterozygous germline gain-of-function NLRP3 mutations are a known cause of this disease, conventional genetic analyses fail to detect disease-causing mutations in ∼40% of patients. Since somatic...
