Abstract
Neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD) is a rare form of dermatosis that is poorly understood. It was first described by Kieffer and colleagues as an urticarial eruption that is histopathologically characterized by a perivascular and interstitial neutrophilic infiltrate with intense leukocytoclasia and without vasculitis or dermal edema. NUD clinically presents as a chronic or recurrent eruption that consists of nonpruritic macules, papules, or plaques that are pink to reddish and that resolve within 24 hours without residual pigmentation. NUD is often associated with systemic diseases such as Schnitzler syndrome, lupus erythematosus, adult-onset Still's disease, and cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes.

Abstract
From studies of individual families to global collaborative efforts, the NLRP3 inflammasome is now recognized to be a key regulator of innate immunity. Activated by a panoply of pathogen-associated and endogenous triggers, NLRP3 serves as an intracellular sensor that drives carefully coordinated assembly of the inflammasome, and downstream inflammation mediated by IL-1 and IL-18. Initially discovered as the cause of the autoinflammatory spectrum of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), NLRP3 is now also known to play a role in more common diseases including cardiovascular disease, gout, and liver disease. We have seen cohesion in results from clinical studies in CAPS patients, ex vivo studies of human cells and murine cells, and in vivo murine models leading to our understanding of the downstream pathways, cytokine secretion, and cell death pathways that has solidified the role of autoinflammation in the pathogenesis of human disease. Recent advances in our understanding of the structure of the inflammasome have provided ways for us to visualize normal and mutant protein function and pharmacologic inhibition. The subsequent development of targeted therapies successfully used in the treatment of patients with CAPS completes the bench to bedside translational loop which has defined the study of this unique protein.

Abstract
Children with intermittent fevers present to pediatricians and other primary care child health providers for evaluation. Most patients will have self-limited, benign infectious illnesses. However, the possibility of a periodic fever syndrome should be considered if febrile episodes become recurrent over an extended period and are associated with particular signs and symptoms during each attack. This review discusses the current conceptualization of autoinflammatory diseases with specific focus and detail on familial Mediterranean fever; tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome; mevalonate kinase deficiency; NLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease; and periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis. The genetic mutations associated with these clinical entities are identified, along with the historical nomenclature that predates the current pathogenetic understanding of these diseases. The episodic signs and symptoms seen across these periodic fever syndromes can be overlapping, but there are some distinguishing features that can be useful, and these are described. The disease course and potential complications, particularly amyloidosis, which is a variable risk in these conditions and a potential source of significant morbidity and mortality, are addressed. Treatment strategies are outlined, highlighting the advances in therapy that have resulted from the advent of proinflammatory cytokine-targeting biological agents.

Abstract
Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a rare inherited autoinflammatory disorder characterized by systemic, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and central nervous system inflammation. Gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 in CAPS patients lead to activation of the cryopyrin inflammasome, resulting in the inappropriate release of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and CAPS-related inflammatory symptoms. Several mechanisms have been identified that are important for the normal regulation of the cryopyrin inflammasome in order to prevent uncontrolled inflammation. Investigators have taken advantage of some of these pathways to develop and apply novel targeted therapies, which have resulted in improved quality of life for patients with this orphan disease.

Gene mutations and clinical phenotypes in 15 Chinese children with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). SCIENCE CHINA-LIFE SCIENCES 2017; 60:1436-1444.

Abstract
The aim of our study is to explore the features of clinical manifestations and genetic mutations in Chinese CAPS patients. Fifteen confirmed patients with CAPS were enrolled. The onset time ranges from 2 days after birth to 6 years and 1 month. Recurrent urticaria rash (93.3%) with fever (100%) were two dominant characteristics of these patients that were presented as either acute or chronic process. Systemic involvements were found in all patients except for one with only rash and fever. The top three symptoms were fever (100%), rash (93.3%) and myalgia (76%). Other clinical manifestations include arthritis (11 cases), lung involvement (seven cases), optical dysfunction (seven cases), nerve deafness (six cases), nervous system involvement (five cases), hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and lymphadenectasis (five cases). Also, four patients had heart involvement and one patient suffered kidney involvement. The laboratory inflammation index such as leukocyte counts, platelet counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA) and fibrinogen (FIB) increased significantly at initial stage, but decreased after therapy. As for gene mutation detection, Twelve out of 15 patients were confirmed with mutation in NLRP3, including 11 mutant site: c1789A<G, c.1703T<A, c.913G<A, c.1710G<C, c.1057G<T, c.2335C<T, c.932TvC, c.296G<C, c.663C<T, t.1702T<A, 299G<A. Mutation sites c.1703T<A, c.2335C<T, c.296G<C, c.663C<T, and 299G<A were newly identified. The association between gene mutation and clinical manifestation shows that D305N was highly associated with severe organs involvements, and therefore, the time of therapy and regimen were critical for the prognosis of disease. As the largest cohort study of Chinese CAPS patients, we confirmed that all patients presented typical clinical manifestations, identified five new mutation sites on NLRP3 and analyzed the correlation between the genotypes and phenotypes. We also raise concerns for one case with serious conditions that only had two nonsense mutations (c.663C<T and t.1702T<A) detected.

Abstract
Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) and chronic infantile neurological, cutaneous and articular syndrome/neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease (CINCA/NOMID) were originally described as three distinct diseases. After the identification of their common genetic origin in 2001 and 2002, they are now perceived as a continuum of one disease entity and labelled cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). Mutations in the NLRP3 gene on chromosome 1q44 can be detected in many affected patients. These lead to the synthesis of an altered gene product named cryopyrin. This is part of the NLRP3 inflammasome and causes the activation of caspase 1 and an excess production of IL-1β, which is the driving force behind the inflammatory reactions observed in CAPS patients. In symptomatic patients, confirmation of a mutation using traditional methods of genetic analysis may not always be successful (up to 40% in the case of CINCA/NOMID phenotypes); however, in many cases somatic mutations can be found using modern methods, such as next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. In contrast, low-penetrance NLRP3 variants may also be identified in healthy family members and are present in low frequencies in the general population. Some of the mutation carriers nevertheless present with typical signs of autoinflammation; however, their phenotype is different compared to the classical CAPS presentation. These patients display unspecific systemic inflammatory signs more frequently but show an organ involvement less often. While the detection of NLRP3 gene mutations may be viewed as confirmatory, CAPS is still predominantly a clinical diagnosis; therefore, recently published diagnostic criteria do not require the demonstration of a mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a group of rare autoinflammatory diseases, and of these, chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, and articular/neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (CINCA/NOMID) syndrome has the most severe phenotype. Canakinumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-1β, has been shown to be an effective treatment for resolving systemic inflammation. However, its efficacy for treating ophthalmic symptoms of this disorder remains unclear. FINDINGS A 64-year-old female reported episodes of nonpruritic urticaria, fever, aseptic meningitis, and bilateral sensorineural deafness. Her son had experienced similar symptoms. She was initially referred for ophthalmologic treatment for an infectious corneal ulcer. Examination of her right eye by slit lamp biomicroscopy showed diffuse conjunctival injection, corneal infiltrates, a corneal ulcer, and hypopyon. She was therefore treated aggressively with topical and systemic antibiotics in addition to antifungal medications. However, this was ineffective. Genetic analysis detected the heterozygous germline p.Asp303Asn mutation in the NLRP3 gene in both our patient and her son. She was therefore diagnosed with CINCA/NOMID syndrome based on her clinical manifestations. All of the patient's physical and ophthalmic symptoms were resolved within a few days after the initiation of canakinumab treatment. During an 18-month follow-up period, no adverse events or severe infections were observed. CONCLUSIONS Our case report indicates that canakinumab is effective not only for the treatment of systemic inflammation but also for treating ophthalmic involvement, such as recurrent stromal keratitis and anterior uveitis.

Abstract
Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) are a group of rare autoinflammatory disorders; many cases of CAPS are caused by mutations in the NLRP3 gene. In these conditions, interleukin (IL)-1 is overproduced, and this overproduction plays a major role in disease onset and progression. CAPS include three variants, ranging in order of increasing severity from familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, previously termed familial cold urticaria, through Muckle-Wells syndrome, to chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous articular syndrome, also known as neonatal onset multisystemic inflammatory disease. Diagnosis of CAPS is initially based on clinical manifestations and medical history, and later confirmed genetically. CAPS should be suspected when characteristic skin lesions, typical periodic fever episodes, bone/joint manifestations, and CNS involvement are recognized. CAPS are life-long diseases, and early diagnosis and early treatment with IL-1-targeted therapies may improve prognosis.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) deficiency is a rare autoinflammatory disease involving neonatal onset of pustulosis, periostitis, and sterile osteomyelitis. We report the case of a 2-week-old male who presented with a swollen, erythematous left index finger and elevated serum markers of inflammation. He later developed cyclical fevers, diffuse pustular skin lesions, and thrombus formation. After not responding to broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy and achieving only moderate success with systemic steroid therapy, he was ultimately treated with recombinant IL-1Ra, anakinra, and experienced significant clinical improvement. Sequencing of his IL1RN gene revealed that the patient was compound heterozygous for a known mutation (E77X) associated with IL-1Ra deficiency and a novel mutation in exon 2 of the gene (c.140delC; p.T47TfsX4). His case highlights IL-1Ra deficiency as an autoinflammatory disease that is distinct from neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease but that also responds well to anakinra. Our patient is the first reported compound heterozygote for E77X and the novel mutation in exon 2 of the gene, the latter of which adds to what will surely be a growing database of pathologic mutations in IL1RN.

Abstract
Chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular syndrome (CINCA), also known as neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), is a dominantly inherited systemic autoinflammatory disease and is caused by a heterozygous germline gain-of-function mutation in the NLRP3 gene. We recently found a high incidence of NLRP3 somatic mosaicism in apparently mutation-negative CINCA/NOMID patients using subcloning and subsequent capillary DNA sequencing. It is important to rapidly diagnose somatic NLRP3 mosaicism to ensure proper treatment. However, this approach requires large investments of time, cost, and labour that prevent routine genetic diagnosis of low-level somatic NLRP3 mosaicism. We developed a routine pipeline to detect even a low-level allele of NLRP3 with statistical significance using massively parallel DNA sequencing. To address the critical concern of discriminating a low-level allele from sequencing errors, we first constructed error rate maps of 14 polymerase chain reaction products covering the entire coding NLRP3 exons on a Roche 454 GS-FLX sequencer from 50 control samples without mosaicism. Based on these results, we formulated a statistical confidence value for each sequence variation in each strand to discriminate sequencing errors from real genetic variation even in a low-level allele, and thereby detected base substitutions at an allele frequency as low as 1% with 99.9% or higher confidence.

Abstract
CINCA/NOMID syndrome was first reported in 1981, identified as a new disease in 1987 and the main cause discovered in 2001, when mutations in the CIAS1 gene modifying the structure of the protein cryopirin were found in those patients (although other factors seem to play a role). Together with the major symptoms that characterized the syndrome, neurological, cutaneous and articular manifestations, others have been added which seem to be quite constant among CINCA/NOMID diagnosed patients: pre and perinatal symptoms, morfological changes, outbreaks of fever and biological abnormalities which reveal a persistent inflammatory background. The radiological studies have been able to identify the physis as the origin of the osteoarticular malformations seen in this syndrome. Diferential diagnosis includes diseases with similar onset at the neonatal period or infancy: systemic onset juvenile idiopathic athritis, periodic fever associated with mevalonate kinase deficiency, deficiency of IL-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA) and Muckle-Wells syndrome.

Abstract
Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) include a group of rare autoinflammatory disorders, the spectrum of which ranges from the mildest form, ie, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome to more severe phenotypes, ie, Muckle-Wells syndrome, and chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular syndrome, also known as neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease. Three interleukin (IL)-1 antagonists have been tested in adults and children with CAPS, ie, anakinra, a recombinant homolog of the human IL-1 receptor antagonist; rilonacept, a fusion protein comprising the extracellular domains of IL-1 receptor I and the IL-1 adaptor protein, IL-1RAcP, attached to a human immunoglobulin G molecule; and canakinumab, the anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody. Following rapid clinical development, rilonacept and canakinumab were approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for use in adults and children. This review describes how the study of CAPS has helped us to understand better the way the innate immune system works, the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory syndromes, and the key role of IL-1. It also reviews the effects of IL-1 blockade in CAPS and other disorders, in particular systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, adult-onset Still’s disease, and gout. Finally, this review covers some issues addressed by very recent and ongoing work regarding treatment indications, from orphan diseases to common disorders, continuous versus intermittent treatment, the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and optimal dosages of the different drugs, as well as the need for Phase IV trials, exhaustive registries, and long-term follow-up of several patient cohorts.

Abstract
CINCA/NOMID is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by the triad of neonatal onset of cutaneous symptoms, chronic meningitis, and recurrent fever and it presents with distinctive osteoarthropathy, synovitis mainly of the large joints and overgrowth of epimetaphyseal cartilage, particularly of the long bones. The cartilage overgrowth eventually causes osseous overgrowth and deformity that persists beyond skeletal maturity and leads to limb length discrepancy, joint contracture, and early degenerative arthropathy. Autoinflammation in CAPS/NOMID has been proven to derive from excessive release of interleukin-1 (IL-1). It has been well documented that the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra (Kineret(R)) helps mitigate systemic inflammation in the disorder. However, a general consensus has not been reached on its beneficial effect on osteoarthropathy. The case of a girl with CINCA/NOMID syndrome who showed dramatic improvement of osteoarthropathy after anakinra treatment is reported. A 4-year-old girl suffered at the age of 10 months from a generalized urticarial skin lesion with recurrent episodes of fever and growth disorder. Blood examination revealed persistent massive neutrophilia, anemia and intense acute phase response. She manifested knee joint swelling with limited ROM when she was 20 months old and was diagnosed as being CINCA/NOMID based on characteristic findings of radiograph despite negative CIAS1 mutation. Radiological examination demonstrated metaphyseal fraying and cupping and widening of the growth plate in the distal femur. MR imaging showed mottled gadolinium enhancement at the chondrosseous junction. Neither significant joint effusion nor synovitis was identified. At 2 years and 7 months of age, anakinra, 2 mg/kg/day given by regular daily subcutaneous injections, was started. A few days after the initiation of the treatment, her clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of active inflammation were promptly alleviated. She was not able to walk unaided prior to the treatment, but she walked independently 1 month after the treatment. Follow-up radiographs and MR imaging showed that growth plate widening and gadolinium enhancement at the chondrosseous junction were less conspicuous. Furthermore, longitudinal growth of the femur and tibia was identified during 20 months of observation.

Abstract
Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) is due to mutations in the CIAS1 gene. We describe the case of a 5-year-old boy with neonatal onset of urticaria-like rash, chronic fever, laboratory findings of systemic inflammation, hepatosplenomegaly, and chronic CNS inflammation associated with sensorineural deafness. Sequence analysis of exon 3 of the CIAS1 gene revealed a novel C1754A/S331R mutation. Since experimental evidence suggests that patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) could respond to inhibition of binding of interleukin IL-1alpha and IL-1beta to the IL-1 receptor type 1, we treated the child with the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra. A remarkable clinical and serological response to therapy was observed, suggesting that pharmacological inhibition of the IL-1 signaling pathway offers an important new treatment option for patients with NOMID.

Abstract
In this report we describe a case of severe chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular (CINCA) syndrome with a novel G307V cryopyrin mutation and all of the characteristic clinical and laboratory features of this autoinflammatory disease. There was no clear response to standard therapies, including human interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (anakinra) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (etanercept). The patient finally had a partial clinical response (reduction in fever and irritability) and complete laboratory response (improved C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A levels) to humanized anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (MRA), but died from congestive heart failure and interstitial pneumonia 2 months after initiation of therapy. We serially measured the serum cytokine levels and expression of NF-kappaB activation in the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells before and during consecutive therapies. Pathologic examination of autopsy specimens was also performed. This case illustrates the continued difficulty in management of patients with CINCA syndrome and the complexity of the inflammatory pathways in this disorder.

Abstract
The autoinflammatory syndromes are a newly recognized group of immune disorders that lack the high titers of self-reactive antibodies and T cells characteristic of classic autoimmune disease. Nevertheless, patients with these illnesses experience unprovoked inflammatory disease in the absence of underlying infection. Here we discuss recent advances in eight Mendelian autoinflammatory diseases. The causative genes and the proteins they encode play a critical role in the regulation of innate immunity. Both pyrin and cryopyrin, the proteins mutated in familial Mediterranean fever and the cryopyrinopathies, respectively, are involved in regulation of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1beta, and may influence the activity of the transcription factor, NFkappaB. NOD2, the Blau syndrome protein, shares certain domains with cryopyrin and appears to be a sensor of intracellular bacteria. PSTPIP1, mutated in the syndrome of pyogenic arthritis with pyoderma gangrenosum and acne, interacts both with pyrin and a protein tyrosine phosphatase to regulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Somewhat unexpectedly, mutations in the p55 TNF receptor lead not to immunodeficiency but to dramatic inflammatory disease, the mechanisms of which are still under investigation. Finally, the discovery of the genetic basis of the hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome has provided a fascinating but incompletely understood link between cholesterol biosynthesis and autoinflammation. In this manuscript, we summarize the current state of the art with regard to the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of these inborn errors of the innate immune system.

Abstract
Chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular syndrome (CINCA syndrome) is a severe inflammatory disease that was recently found to be associated with mutations in CIAS1. However, CIAS1 mutations have been detected in only half of CINCA syndrome patients, and it remains unclear which genes are responsible for the syndrome in the remaining patients. We describe here a patient with CINCA syndrome who exhibited CIAS1 somatic mosaicism. We genetically analyzed the CIAS1 gene in various blood cells and the buccal mucosa of the patient. The production of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the ability of the mutant CIAS1 gene to enhance ASC-dependent NF-kappaB activation was assessed to confirm that the mutations of CIAS1 found were responsible for the patient's clinical manifestations of the CINCA syndrome. The patient had 1 heterologous single-nucleotide polymorphism, 587G>A (S196N), and 1 heterologous mutation, 1709A>G (Y570C), in exon 3 of CIAS1. The latter mutation was found to occur as somatic mosaicism. The patient's PBMCs produced a large amount of IL-1beta in the absence of stimulation, unlike those from controls or from his mother, who also bore the S196N polymorphism. In addition, the Y570C mutation (with or without the S196N polymorphism) increased the ability of CIAS1 to induce ASC-dependent NF-kappaB activation, unlike the wild-type gene or the gene bearing the S196N polymorphism alone. The findings in this patient indicate that somatic mosaicism is one reason CIAS1 mutations have not been detected in some patients with CINCA syndrome.

Abstract
We report an 11-month-old boy of French origin who had chronic, infantile, neurological, cutaneous, and articular syndrome with a particularly severe joint involvement with early onset. The diagnosis was based on the association of neurologic, cutaneous (urticarial skin eruption), and articular manifestations accompanied by recurrent bouts of fever. No mutation of the CIAS1 gene could be identified. Skeletal involvement was particularly severe, leading to considerable limitation of motion.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Other than familial mediterranean fever: Four hereditary diseases presenting in the form of intermittent inflammatory flares are now recognized and have been characterised clinically and genetically. At the head of this group is Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), which affects thousands of patients originating from the Mediterranean area. However the familial Mediterranean Fever is no longer the only recurrent hereditary inflammatory disease. Three other entities have now been clearly defined: intermittent fever secondary to mutations in the type 1A Tumour Necrosis Factor receptor (TNF), of dominant autosomic genetic transmission, the hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome and an entity regrouping the Muckle Wells syndrome, familial cold-induced urticaria, and the Chronic Infantile Neurological Cutaneous and Articular (CINCA) syndrome. IN PRACTICE Because they require specific management and treatment, precise diagnosis of these entities is crucial.

Abstract
Dominant mutations in the CIAS1 gene cause a spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases such as familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, FCAS, which is characterized by episodes of urticaria, arthralgia, fever and conjunctivitis after generalized exposure to cold. We here describe patients of two German families with the 592G-->A, V198M mutation, which has been described to induce FCAS before. However, in our patients the clinical phenotype was very different from this disease. They never had urticaria, cold induced fever or conjunctivitis; instead the following symptoms occurred: Very regular periodic fever, irregular severe febrile episodes, relatively mild arthralgia, dry cough, cardiomyopathy, nephropathy and euthyroid thyroiditis all being reversible. We conclude that the clinical phenotype associated with mutations in the CIAS1 gene is much broader than assumed before.

Abstract
The clinical features, the underlying CIAS1 mutation, and the results of cytokine analyses are described for a 10-year-old German boy with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease, whose condition improved with age. Disease onset occurred at 26 months of age with predominantly cutaneous (urticarial rash) and neurologic (headache, chronic meningitis) symptoms including early bilateral optic nerve atrophy, whereas articular manifestations were mild. Sequence analysis of exon 3 of the CIAS1 gene revealed heterozygosity for a novel missense mutation. A T515C transition led to the replacement of isoleucine by threonine at amino acid position 172 (I172T) in a region of cryopyrin flanking the PYRIN and NACHT domains. This mutation was not present in the parents or in 11 controls and therefore was considered to be a de novo mutation. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to determine interleukin-6 and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 1B levels in the patient's serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Concentrations were highly elevated in the CSF, whereas corresponding serum levels remained low. The strong cytokine activation in the CSF corresponded with the neurologic symptoms. Local activation of intrathecal macrophages may therefore be an important pathogenetic mechanism. CSF cytokine levels decreased to normal under corticosteroid and intrathecal methotrexate therapy. When the boy reached the age of 5.5 years, treatment was stopped, and he has remained relapse-free.

Abstract
Chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular (CINCA) syndrome is characterized by fever, chronic meningitis, uveitis, sensorineural hearing loss, urticarial skin rash, and a deforming arthritis. In the CIAS1 gene of many but not all CINCA patients, disease-associated mutations have been found recently. We here describe two such patients from Germany. One of them, a 3-yr-old boy, has a 1709A-->G, Y570C, mutation, which has previously been described to cause CINCA syndrome. His clinical course is very severe and no satisfying response has been achieved even with high doses of local and systemic steroids. The other patient has a somewhat milder clinical course and considerable improvement could be accomplished with moderate and low doses of steroids. In her CIAS1 gene we have found a 1043C-->T, T348M, mutation, which has only been detected in Muckle-Wells syndrome before. Our results suggest that the severity of symptoms in CINCA patients may be influenced by the underlying mutation in the CIAS1 gene. Furthermore, our observations support the view that CINCA syndrome and Muckle-Wells syndrome are essentially the same disease with different degrees of severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID; also known as chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular [CINCA] syndrome) is characterized by fever, chronic meningitis, uveitis, sensorineural hearing loss, urticarial skin rash, and a characteristic deforming arthropathy. We investigated whether patients with this disorder have mutations in CIAS1, the gene which causes Muckle-Wells syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, two dominantly inherited disorders with some similarities to NOMID/CINCA syndrome. METHODS Genomic DNA from 13 patients with classic manifestations of NOMID/CINCA syndrome and their available parents was screened for CIAS1 mutations by automated DNA sequencing. Cytokine messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction on peripheral blood leukocyte mRNA, and serum cytokine levels were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Protein expression was assessed by Western blotting of lysates from plastic-adherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS In 6 of the 13 patients, we found 6 heterozygous missense substitutions in CIAS1. Five of the 6 mutations are novel. None of these sequence changes was observed in a panel of >900 chromosomes from healthy controls. Two distinct nucleotide changes in a single codon in unrelated patients resulted in the same amino acid change. In 4 mutation-positive children whose parental DNA was available, no mutation was found in the parental DNA, supporting the conclusion that the mutations arose de novo. Consistent with the recently discovered role of CIAS1 in the regulation of interleukin-1 (IL-1), we found evidence of increased IL-1beta, as well as tumor necrosis factor, IL-3, IL-5, and IL-6, but not transforming growth factor beta, in a mutation-positive patient compared with normal controls. CONCLUSION Our data increase the total number of known germline mutations in CIAS1 to 20, causing a spectrum of diseases ranging from familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome to Muckle-Wells syndrome to NOMID/CINCA syndrome. Mutations in CIAS1 were only found in approximately 50% of the cases identified clinically as NOMID/CINCA syndrome, which raises the possibility of genetic heterogeneity. IL-1 regulation by CIAS1 suggests that IL-1 receptor blockade may constitute a rational approach to the treatment of NOMID/CINCA syndrome.

Abstract
Chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular (CINCA) syndrome is a severe chronic inflammatory disease of early onset, characterized by cutaneous symptoms, central-nervous-system involvement, and arthropathy. In the present study, we report, in seven unrelated patients with CINCA syndrome, distinct missense mutations within the nucleotide-binding site of CIAS1, a gene encoding cryopyrin and previously shown to cause Muckle-Wells syndrome and familial cold urticaria. Because of the severe cartilage overgrowth observed in some patients with CINCA syndrome and the implications of polymorphonuclear cell infiltration in the cutaneous and neurological manifestations of this syndrome, the tissue-specific expression of CIAS1 was evaluated. A high level of expression of CIAS1 was found to be restricted to polymorphonuclear cells and chondrocytes. These findings demonstrate that CIAS1 missense mutations can result in distinct phenotypes with only a few overlapping symptoms and suggest that this gene may function as a potential inducer of apoptosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the ophthalmic manifestations of neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease, a recently recognized, rare systemic disorder characterized by the triad of arthropathy, rash, and abnormal central nervous system development. METHOD Case report. RESULTS A 2-year-old female with neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease presented with visual acuity of fix and follow with each eye, bilateral optic nerve head pallor and gliosis, as well as marked sheathing of the peripapillary vessels. No vitreous inflammation or macular edema was found. Visual acuity was stable from the neonatal period through the 3 months of follow-up after the changes involving the optic nerve heads and peripapillary vessels were observed (a total of 33 months). CONCLUSIONS This report provides a description of the ocular manifestations of neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease and supports earlier suggestions that swelling of the optic nerve heads can occur. In this case, optic nerve head pallor may have been a sequela of such swelling. The pathogenesis of neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease is unknown.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CINCA syndrome is a clinical syndrome of unclear etiology, characterized by a chronic multi-organ inflammatory process unsusceptible to treatment. CASE REPORT An 18-month-old boy was admitted because he suffered, since the age of 2 months, from cutaneous, articular and neurological changes, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, choroiditis and psychosomatic development retardation. These clinical symptoms were unsusceptible to anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic drugs. Rehabilitation was not effective either. CONCLUSION A long-term clinical observation is required before sustained multi-organ changes beginning in early childhood and exclusion of other chronic inflammatory diseases enable the diagnosis of CINCA syndrome.

Abstract
We describe four unrelated children with neonatal maculopapular rash, fever, arthritis, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, eye involvement, and neurologic symptoms. Radiographs of the joints were surprisingly similar, showing an abnormal epiphyseal and metaphyseal appearance. These clinical and radiologic findings allowed us to include these children in a very peculiar syndrome described as infantile-onset multisystemic inflammatory disease. A chondrosarcoma developed in one of our patients.

Abstract
Neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease is a rare disorder first described by Lorber in 1973. An additional 29 cases have been recorded. Two patients are described here, one with a 17 year follow-up. The typical features are a rash, fever, adenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and a severe, deforming arthropathy predominantly affecting large joints. The most striking feature is the onset in the neonatal period. Other associated features include inflammation, chronic meningitis, anemia, and persistent leukocytosis. Most, if not all, patients develop bizarre epiphyseal radiographic findings that are virtually pathognomonic. This disease is distinct from Still disease.

Abstract
We have studied the clinical presentation and course of a chronic inflammatory disease occurring in childhood and observed in 30 patients. The first symptoms were generally present at birth, except in a few patients where they were first noticed in early infancy. All the patients had the association of three main symptoms: neurological, cutaneous and articular. The skin rash was the first symptom observed in all the patients and looked like a chronic non pruritic urticaria varying during the day. The articular manifestations involved knees, ankles and feet, elbows, wrists and hands unaffecting the other joints. They could be mild giving arthritis during flare-ups or severe with major radiological modifications affecting the epiphysis, metaphysis and growth cartilage. The neurological manifestations were characterized by a chronic meningitis and symptoms indicating meningeal irritation: headaches, seizures, spasticity of legs. Most patients had a cerebral atrophy and a low IQ. Sensory organ involvement occurred progressively during the follow-up: ocular inflammation with optic atrophy, deafness and hoarseness. Common morphological features characterized these patients with short stature, head enlargement, saddle back nose and short and thick extremities with clubbing of fingers. The course was that of a chronic inflammatory disease with numerous flare-ups associating fever, splenomegaly and adenomegaly. Except for a high level of eosinophils in blood, CSF and tissues, the biology was non specific and only exhibited features of inflammation. Except for two families, the disease was sporadic. A high frequency of prematurity with features resembling a foetal infection was observed but no proof of a possible causal virus has so far been found so that etiology remains unknown.

Abstract
A 4-year-old girl with neonatal onset of chronic diffuse urticarial rash, head enlargement, protruding eye balls, bilateral arthritis of the knees, growth and mental retardation, and signs in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of chronic inflammation is presented and compared to two similar cases reported by us previously. Including this new patient there are now 14 documented cases with this specific inflammatory syndrome whose aetiology remains unknown. In the present case, however, elevated antibody titres against I.ric. Borrelia antigen were found in the serum.

Abstract
We report two patients with infantile onset of evanescent rash, fever, arthropathy with severe deformities, periosteal changes, chronic meningitis, hydrocephalus, convulsions, developmental delay, papilledema, unusual uveitis, and lymphadenopathy. A few patients with similar findings have been previously reported. Although some similarity exists between findings in these patients and in others with systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, they appear to differ both in regard to the nature and severity of the clinical and pathologic features. We suggest that this group of patients has a separate rheumatic disorder not yet included in the standard classifications of the childhood rheumatic diseases.
