Cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) arise from mutations in the NLRP3 gene that encodes cryopyrin. These are autosomal dominant inherited diseases characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. The pathogenic mechanism of these syndromes is attributed to increased activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, resulting in aberrantly high production of IL-1beta.
