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.

Pre-print time!

This time our lab tackled the enigmatic "autoinflammation of unknown origin". This is a cluster of rare patients with #autoinflammatory disease, which don't fit the criteria of other syndromes. It's not even clear its a single #disease, to be honest
