Periodic Fever with Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Cervical Adenitis Syndrome Is Associated with a CARD8 Variant Unable To Bind the NLRP3 Inflammasome.

Abstract excerpt

Periodic fever with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) is a relatively common autoinflammatory condition that primarily affects children. Although tendencies were reported for this syndrome, genetic variations influencing risk and disease progression are poorly understood.
