Deficiency of Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA) is a rare autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease first reported in 2009. To date, 33 patients have been previously characterized and reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no recent studies that have broadly evaluated recent advances in understanding of this challenging and life-threatening condition. Herein, we comprehensively reviewed the etiology and cytogenetic abnormalities of DIRA. We then investigated the current diagnostics used for identifying the variants of this disease. Furthermore, we report the demographics and characteristics broadly found in the current patient sample. Lastly, we discuss the treatments (antibiotics, corticosteroids, etc.) and the primary biologics (anakinra, canakinumab, adalimumab, and rilonacept) used in patients, along with current information on their clinical safety and efficacy. Overall, although further investigations are required for this disease, this review may be informative to clinicians treating and managing patients presenting with DIRA. |
