As shown in Figure 2B, active CAPS patients displayed a significantly higher absolute number (median 7,5 cells/mm3, range 2,9–9,5) of IL-17 producing cells compared to healthy controls (median 1,34 cells/mm3, range 0,4–5,4) (p = 0.002) and active SoJIA patients (median 1,31 cells/mm3, range 0,3–5,2) (p = 0.003). The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome.
