Activation of the Pyrin Inflammasome through the RhoA Signaling Pathway in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D Syndrome (HIDS)
Background/Purpose: Mutations in the genes encoding pyrin and mevalonate kinase (MVK) cause the autoinflammatory diseases familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS), respectively. …Abstract Number: 254 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Interleukin-1 Inhibitor Canakinumab for Familial Mediterranean Fever: Long-Term Beneficial Effect in a Cohort of 13 Patients
