This study explores demographic, clinical, and therapeutic features of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) in a cohort of 80 patients recruited from 19 Italian referral Centers. Patients' data were collected retrospectively and then analyzed according to age groups (disease onset before or after 16 years) and genotype (high penetrance (HP) and low penetrance (LP) gene variants). Pediatric- and adult-onset were reported, respectively, in 44 and 36 patients; HP and LP variants were found, respectively, in 32 and 44 cases.

Background: Neurological manifestations and the co-occurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS) have been reported in patients with autoinflammatory diseases (AID) and variants of the NLRP3-, MEFV-, or TNFRSF1A gene. However, type and frequency of neurological involvement are widely undetermined.
Methods: We assessed clinical characteristics of 151 (108 with MS) patients carrying NLRP3-, MEFV- and TNFRSF1A low-penetrance variants from the Institute of Clinical Neuroimmunology.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomal-dominant autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the gene. R92Q, a low-penetrance variant, is usually associated with a milder TRAPS phenotype than structural or pathogenic mutations. No studies differentiating R92Q-related disease in patients with pediatric and adult onset have been performed to date.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a dominantly inherited autoinflammatory disease caused by TNFRSF1A mutations. Patients with TRAPS suffer from recurrent, long episodes with fever, arthralgia/arthritis, migratory myalgias, abdominal pain, serositis, conjunctivitis and migratory erythematous skin rash. More than 70 different TNFRSF1A mutations have been reported to date, and as consequence of its genetic heterogeneity, TRAPS shows a variable phenotypic expression.

On the basis that the inflammatory effects of TNF (tumour necrosis factor) are predominantly mediated through interaction with the TNF receptor-1 (TNFRSF1A), the current study was designed to establish the prevalence of the mutations, R92Q and P46L TNFRSF1A polymorphisms both in the general healthy Saudi population, and in Saudi patients carrying inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis. We felt it important to report the frequency of the mutations, R92Q and P46L TNFRSF1A polymorphisms in healthy Saudi individuals, and those with inflammatory conditions, as well as to describe the pattern of immunological factors in individuals expressing R92Q or P46L TNFRSF1A. We collected in PAX gene blood RNA tubes (for RT-PCR and sequencing) 500 blood samples from normal healthy individuals from the West and Center of Saudi Arabia, as well as 100 from patients with atherosclerosis, and 100 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
