Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing protein 2 (NOD2) is a member of NOD-like receptor family (NLRs) (1). The NLR was first discovered in the early 2000s through complementary efforts several research teams, which resulted multiple names for same molecule (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). nomenclature has since been standardized; however earlier literature may refer to NOD2 as caspase recruitment domain-containing 15 (CARD15) based on its molecular structure that includes two N-terminal CARDs. an intracellular microbe sensor plays important roles infection defense, control inflammation, and apoptosis (7). discovery missense frameshift mutations are risk factors inflammatory bowel disease Crohn's demonstrates importance this (8,9).

Objectives Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome or NLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID) and NLRP12-AID are both Mendelian disorders with autosomal dominant inheritance. Both diseases rare, primarily reported in the pediatric population, thought to be phenotypically indistinguishable. We provide largest cohort of adult-onset patients compared these gene variant frequency population controls. Methods A adult AIDs were retrospectively studied. All underwent molecular testing for fever panels after extensive negative workups systemic autoimmune other related diseases. Patients divided into Group 1- NLRP3-AID NLRP3 variants (N=15), 2- NLRP12 (N=14) 3- (N=9) variants.

One such mechanism is control autoreactivity by regulatory (Tregs), which have an essential role in suppressing autoimmunity. Consequently, there significant interest developing ways to boost or restore the function Tregs order prevent treat autoimmunity, induce tolerance, thus reduce reliance on broadly immunosuppressive agents.
