The mechanisms in monogenic autoinflammatory diseases

Innate mechanism Component Mechanism
Intracellular sensor function defects
CAPS (FCAS, MWS, NOMID/CINCA) NLRP3 (cryopyrin) Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome (gain‐of‐function) leading to IL‐1β production
FMF Pyrin Inflammasome activation, increased IL‐1β production
BS/PGA NOD2 NF‐κB and RIP2K activation
CAMPS Adaptor molecule C CARD14 Increased NF‐κB
Accumulation of intracellular triggers
TRAPS Folding defect and accumulation of TNFR1 MAPK activation, Increased production of mROS, ER stress
CANDLE/PRAAS Proteasome dysfunction IFN response gene induction
HIDS/MKD Mevalonate kinase Lack of prenylation leads to cytoskeletal changes and inflammasome activation
Loss of a negative regulator of inflammation
DIRA Loss of IL‐1 antagonism Uncontrolled IL‐1 signalling
DITRA Loss of IL‐36 antagonism Uncontrolled IL‐36 signalling
EO‐IBD Loss of IL‐10 or IL‐10 receptor antagonist Decreased IL‐10 signalling
Effects on signalling molecules that upregulate innate immune cell function
AGS Type I interferonopathy‐related proteins Increased INF type I production
