Gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 gene are causative of signs and inflammatory symptoms in CAPS patients, in which an abnormal activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, resulting in an inappropriate release of IL-1β and gasdermin-D-dependent pyroptosis, has been demonstrated both in in vitro and in ex vivo studies. Here, IL1B is linked to cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome.
