Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The p.E148Q variant in pyrin is present in different populations at a frequency of up to 29%, and has been associated with diseases, including vasculitis and FMF. The pathogenicity of p.E148Q in FMF is unclear, even when observed in cis or in trans to a single, typically recessive, pathogenic mutation. We performed functional validation to determine whether p.E148Q increases the ability of pyrin to...
