Methods: Targeted sequencing of HPF (MEFV, MVK, NLRP12, NLRP3, NOD2, PSTPIP1, TNFRSF1A) and fHLH (LYST, PRF1, RAB27A, STX11, STXBP2, UNC13D) genes was performed in sJIA cases and control subjects from the International Childhood Arthritis Genetics Consortium cohort using Illumina Nextera Custom Capture Assays and Illumina sequencers. This evidence concerns the gene PSTPIP1 and arthritic joint disease.
