Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are conditions leading to a hyperactivation of innate immunity without any underlying infection, and may be poly- (e.g. Still's disease) or monogenic.

We have identified a new inherited bone marrow (BM) failure syndrome with severe congenital neutropenia (CN) caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the coatomer protein complex I (COPI) subunit zeta 1 (COPZ1) gene. A stop-codon COPZ1 mutation and a missense mutation were found in three patients from two unrelated families. While two affected siblings with a stop-codon COPZ1 mutation suffered from congenital neutropenia (CN) that involves other hematological lineages, and non-hematological tissues, the patient with a missense COPZ1 mutation had isolated neutropenia.

Most autoinflammatory diseases are caused by mutations in innate immunity genes. Previously, four variants in the RHO GTPase CDC42 were discovered in patients affected by syndromes generally characterized by neonatal-onset of cytopenia and auto-inflammation, including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and rash in the most severe form (NOCARH syndrome). However, the mechanisms responsible for these phenotypes remain largely elusive.

Article Synopsis
  • * A newly identified group of AIDs is marked by high levels of interleukin 18 (IL-18), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that influences immune cell behavior and responses.
  • * The review discusses how IL-18 is relevant in diagnosing and treating AIDs like Still's disease and those caused by specific gene mutations, noting that measuring IL-18 can help with diagnosis and therapy targeting IL-18 is being researched.

Mutations in the N-terminal WD40 domain of coatomer protein complex subunit α (COPA) cause a type I interferonopathy, typically characterized by alveolar hemorrhage, arthritis, and nephritis. We described 3 heterozygous mutations in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of COPA (p.C1013S, p.
