Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes

Definition

CAPS is a “disease” with clear symptomatology, clear linkage to a gene as etiology, with a defined course and treatment. CAPS is a autosomal dominantly inherited autoinflammatory disease associated with heterozygous mutations in a gene called NLRP3 (Nucleotide binding site Leucine rich Repeat Pyrin 3) which codes for the cyropyrin protein [ ], leading to excess interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) production [ ].
