Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the genetic background of a patient with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) with no NLRP3 mutation. METHODS: A Japanese male child diagnosed as having NOMID was studied. The patient did not have any NLRP3 mutation, even as low-frequency mosaicism. We performed whole-exome sequencing on the patient and his parents. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were established...
