Table 1. Molecular features and molecular causes of familial autoinflammatory disorders.

Diseases are listed in order of their discovery. Abbreviations and Definitions: Blau Syndrome: Granulomatous synovitis, with Uveitis and Cranial Neuropathies (also known as familial juvenile systemic arthrocutaneouveal granulomatosis); PAPA syndrome: Pyogenic Sterile Arthritis, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, and Acne; DIRA: Deficiency of IL-1 Receptor Antagonist; DITRA: Deficiency of IL-36R Receptor Antagonistm; CANDLE: Chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature. JMP syndrome: Joint contractures, muscle atrophy, microcytic anemia, and panniculitis-induced childhood-onset lipodystrophy
