Background: Gain of function (GOF) mutations in NOD-like receptor family CARD-containing 4 protein (NLRC4) gene induce a wide spectrum of autoinflammatory phenotypes. Currently, we categorize them into four groups: familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS)4, autoinflammatory infantile enterocolitis (AIFEC), NLRC4-macrophage associated syndrome (MAS), and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID). The rarity and complexity of the disease necessitate the description of new cases and a reexamination of our understanding of the condition.

Background: Autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis (AIFEC) is an often fatal disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in the NLRC4 inflammasome. This inflammasomopathy is characterized by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS)-like episodes as well as neonatal-onset enterocolitis. Although elevated IL-18 levels were suggested to take part in driving AIFEC pathology, the triggers for IL-18 production and its ensuing pathogenic effects in these patients are incompletely understood.

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a challenging condition with unfavorable outcome in most cases. Preliminary evidence suggests that some interleukins, in particular IL-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL-1RA), could be elevated due to a functional deficiency of anti-inflammatory pathways. Therefore, treatment strategies acting on innate immunity could represent a targeted treatment.

SKIV2L is part of a multiprotein complex required for exosome-mediated RNA surveillance through RNA decay. In this issue of the JCI, Yang et al.

Objective: Dominantly inherited PSTPIP1 mutations cause a spectrum of autoinflammatory manifestations epitomized by PAPA syndrome (pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome.). The connections between PSTPIP1 and PAPA syndrome are poorly understood, although evidence suggests involvement of pyrin inflammasome activation.
