Clinical and genetic spectrum of 14 cases of NLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID) in China and a review of the literature.
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2022 June 7
BACKGROUND: NLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID), caused by mutations of NLRP3, is one of the autoinflammatory diseases affecting inflammasomes. Since there are little cases of Chinese NLRP3-AID, we reported 14 Chinese NLRP3-AID patients in our center and summarized the clinical features of all Chinese patients by reviewing the literature.
RESULTS: Fourteen patients had been diagnosed as NLRP3-AID in our center. 12 different NLRP3 variants were identified, among which one is novel: p.Leu361Trp. Rash, recurrent fever, arthritis/arthralgia, uveitis, sensorineural deafness, symptoms of central neural systems (CNS), and increased inflammatory markers (including CRP, ESR, except Ferritin) were the common findings in Chinese patients. The frequencies of fever, neurological symptoms, musculoskeletal manifestations and ocular manifestations in Chinese patients might differ from that of patients from other regions. Besides, we also found clubbing fingers and optic neuritis in some NLRP3-AID patients, which were not commonly mentioned in previous reports.
CONCLUSION: In our study, we expanded the clinical spectrum as well as the genetic pathogenic variants of NLRP3-AID. We also found that there were some differences between Chinese patients and patients from other regions, and that Chinese patients were more likely to develop severe symptoms.
