Physiopathological Investigation of Unclassified GENotypes of Autoinflammatory Diseases and AA Amyloidosis
Patients with autoinflammatory diseases (AID) have recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation accompanied by nonspecific elevation of blood inflammation markers typically absent between attacks. A complication of autoinflammatory diseases is AA amyloidosis, which can lead to renal failure and dialysis. Advances in genetic analysis have led to the identification of new autoinflammatory diseases and thus new pathophysiological pathways. However, genetic analyses are sometimes confronted with results that are difficult to interpret. These are the Variants of Unknown Significance, for which genetic analysis alone does not allow to determine if the genetic mutation is responsible for the symptoms. genetic analysis sometimes has limitations in the diagnosis of AID which can only be overcome by pathophysiological studies of the variants found.
