Popis: Hereditary autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are characterized by recurrent bouts of systemic inflammation caused by dysregulation of the innate immunity system. The genotype-phenotype correlation can be highly variable which makes a genetic diagnosis in AID patients complex and laborious. A clear and definitive diagnosis cannot be provided for up to 80% of AID patients, which can be important for treatment options. To date, over 20 causal genes have been identified for monogenic AIDs.
