A large dataset we hope is helpful for patients who may have CAPS, an #autoinflammatory condition associated with genetic variants in NLRP3. Lots of "variants of uncertain significance" now have a specific readout from our in vitro assay which can help with clinical diagnosis. rdcu.be/d9iRG

Mechanisms of NLRP3 activation and inhibition elucidated by functional analysis of disease-associated variants

Nature Immunology - Gain-of-function variants in the gene encoding NLRP3 lead to constitutive inflammasome activation and excessive IL-1β production. In this resource, authors perform...
