Enfermedades autoinflamatorias sistémicas, entidades en auge: generalidades, principales síndromes monogénicos y aproximación al manejo terapéutico / Systemic autoinflammatory diseases, entities on the rise: basic concepts, main monogenic syndromes and approach to therapeutic management

Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are relatively recent entities caused by dysregulation of the innate immune system. They are mainly caused by monogenic mutations, although there are entities produced by polygenic mutations or of multifactorial origin. Traditionally, they have been classified based on the presence or absence of fever, however, thanks to the advancement of knowledge of their Pathogenic mechanisms and the signaling pathways involved, recently it has been advocated to classify them based on the latter. The three more important groups of monogenic autoinflammatory diseases are type 1 interferonopathies, inflammasomopathies and dysregulation in the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells [NFkB] pathway (relopahies). In this review, the main pathways involved, the main syndromes of each of these groups and the therapeutic approach are addressed. (AU)

Las enfermedades autoinflamatorias sistémicas son entidades relativamente recientes ocasionadas por disregulación del sistema inmune innato. Están ocasionadas fundamentalmente por mutaciones monogénicas, aunque existen entidades producidas por mutaciones poligénicas o de origen multifactorial. Tradicionalmente se han clasificadoen función de la presencia o ausencia de fiebre, sin embargo, con el avance en el conocimiento de sus mecanismos patogénicos y de las vías de señalización involucradas, recientemente se aboga por clasificarlas en base a esto último, siendo los tres grupos más importantes de entidades autoinflamatorias monogénicas las interferonopatías tipo 1,las inflamasomopatías y las ocasionadas por disregulación en la vía del factor nuclear potenciador de las cadenas ligeras kappa de las células B activadas [NF-KB] (relopatías). En la presente revisión se aborda de forma general las principales vías implicadas, los principales síndromes de cada uno de estos grupos y el abordaje terapéutico. (AU)

Notch Signaling Regulation in Autoinflammatory Diseases.

Notch pathway is a highly conserved intracellular signaling route that modulates a vast variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, migration, cell fate and death. Recently, the presence of a strict crosstalk between Notch signaling and inflammation has been described, although the precise molecular mechanisms underlying this interplay have not yet been fully unravelled. Disruptions in Notch cascade, due both to direct mutations and/or to an altered regulation in the core components of Notch signaling, might lead to hypo- or hyperactivation of Notch target genes and signaling molecules, ultimately contributing to the onset of autoinflammatory diseases. To date, alterations in Notch signaling have been reported as associated with three autoinflammatory disorders, therefore, suggesting a possible role of Notch in the pathogenesis of the following diseases: hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), Behçet disease (BD), and giant cell arteritis (GCA). In this review, we aim at better characterizing the interplay between Notch and autoinflammatory diseases, trying to identify the role of this signaling route in the context of these disorders.

[Classification of autoinflammatory diseases based on pathophysiological mechanisms]. / Klassifikation autoinflammatorischer Erkrankungen anhand pathophysiologischer Mechanismen.

Monogenic autoinflammatory diseases present with systemic inflammation with the involvement of multiple organs. With the help of modern molecular genetic techniques a large number of diseases with previously unknown pathomechanisms have been described in recent years. This knowledge can be utilized to group autoinflammatory diseases according to the signalling pathways involved and thus provide a better understanding of these entities.

Validation of the new classification criteria for hereditary recurrent fever in an independent cohort: experience from the JIR Cohort Database.

OBJECTIVE: The new classification criteria for the hereditary recurrent fever (HRF) syndrome [cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), TNF-α receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), FMF and mevalonate kinase deficiency] have been published recently. These criteria define two core sets of criteria for each HRF: mixed criteria, including genetic and clinical variables, and clinical criteria, relying on clinical variables only. Our aim was to validate the criteria for HRF in an independent cohort, the JIR Cohort database, an international repository of systemic inflammatory diseases. METHODS: We enrolled patients with HRF, periodic fever, adenitis, pharyngitis and aphthous stomatitis syndrome (PFAPA) and syndrome of undefined recurrent fever (SURF). A score ranging from zero to two was attributed to their respective genotypes: zero (no mutation), one (non-confirmatory genotype) or two (confirmatory genotype). The criteria were applied to all patients based on genotype scoring. The treating physician's diagnosis served as the gold standard for the determination of specificity. RESULTS: We included 455 patients. The classification criteria showed excellent specificity for CAPS and TRAPS (98% specificity each), fair specificity for FMF (88%), but poor specificity for mevalonate kinase deficiency (58%). Sub-analysis showed excellent accuracy of the mixed criteria for all four HRFs. Misclassification was mainly attributable to clinical criteria sets, with false-positive patients in all four HRF clinical criteria sets. CONCLUSION: This study represents the final validation step of the HRF classification criteria as recommended by the ACR. Genetic data appear to be necessary to classify patients with HRF correctly.

Moving towards a systems-based classification of innate immune-mediated diseases.

Autoinflammation as a distinct disease category was first reported in 1999 as a group of monogenic disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of systemic and organ-specific inflammation, known as periodic fever syndromes. Since this original description, the focus has shifted considerably to the inclusion of complex multifactorial conditions with an autoinflammatory basis. Furthermore, the boundaries of what are considered to be autoinflammatory disorders are constantly evolving and currently encompass elements of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity. Notable developments in the intervening 20 years include substantial progress in understanding how the different inflammasomes are activated, how infection is sensed by the innate immune system and how intracellular signalling systems are consequently activated and integrated with many different cellular functions in the autoinflammatory process. With these developments, the field of autoinflammation is moving from a gene-centric view of innate immune-mediated disease towards a systems-based concept, which describes how various convergent pathways, including pyrin and the actin cytoskeleton, protein misfolding and cellular stress, NF-κB dysregulation and interferon activation, contribute to the autoinflammatory process. The development and adoption of a systems-based concept of systemic autoinflammatory diseases is anticipated to have implications for the development of treatments that target specific components of the innate immune system.

Adult-onset systemic autoinflammatory disorders: a clinical approach.

Autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) are a subgroup of immune-mediated syndromes that result from a primary dysfunction of the innate immune system. AIDs can be either monogenic or polygenic diseases. Unlike organspecific AIDs, systemic AIDs are characterized by fever and/or elevation of acute-phase reactants. This review aims to describe the most common adult-onset systemic AIDs, focusing mostly on polygenic and mixed-pattern diseases which are expected to be more prevalent in adult patients than monogenic AIDs overall. The literature was searched in Medline database. Organ-specific or childhood-onset systemic AIDs were excluded. AIDs were divided in three distinct groups: mixed-pattern, polygenic and adult-onset monogenic AIDs. Most adult-onset AIDs are polygenic but late-onset disease is not rare among monogenic AIDs such as familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The diagnosis of systemic AIDs in adults is often delayed due to several factors and sometimes it is only established when amyloidosis or other complications are present. Therefore, it probably makes sense to primarily exclude common AIDs in adult patients with fever of unknown origin (and probably different presentations such as polyserositis) since a high prevalence of adult-onset Still's disease or FMF is usually expected. Colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, immunosuppressive agents, interleukin-1 inhibitors and tumor necrosis factor antagonists constitute common therapeutic options for systemic AIDs.

Performance of recently proposed periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome criteria in a region endemic for familial Mediterranean fever.

The periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is an auto-inflammatory condition characterized by recurrent episodes of fever accompanied by aphthosis, cervical adenitis, and pharyngitis. Diagnosis of PFAPA could be challenging due to clinic overlap with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). An international consensus has been established recently, to define a new set of classification criteria for PFAPA syndrome. We aimed to evaluate the performance of recently proposed PFAPA criteria, to assess their utility in FMF regions. Patients diagnosed with PFAPA syndrome, FMF, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) were included. Two investigators blindly evaluated all of patients for the newly proposed PFAPA criteria. A total of 542 patients (322 with PFAPA syndrome, 118 FMF and 102 JIA) were evaluated. Mean age of patients was 6.6 ± 2.81, 12.75 ± 3.9, and 12.42 ± 4.8 years for PFAPA, FMF, and JIA, respectively. We found quite high sensitivity (89.7%) but insufficient specificity of newly proposed PFAPA criteria (69.5%). When applied to control patients separately, specificity was found to be 61% and 79.4% for FMF and JIA patients, respectively. Positive predictive value was 81%, while negative predictive value was 82%. Recently proposed PFAPA criteria have satisfactory sensitivity, but its specificity is still under expectation. There is a need for a distinctive criterion between PFAPA syndrome and FMF, in FMF endemic regions, e.g., cryptic tonsillitis rapidly responsive to single dose of glucocorticoids. Further studies with higher patients' number in different regions are needed.

Performance of Tel-Hashomer, Livneh, pediatric and new Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria for familial Mediterranean fever in a referral center.

Until now, the diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was based on validated subsets of clinical criteria, but recently new Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria concerning genetic analyses were proposed. The study aimed to compare the performances of three validated diagnostic criteria (Tel-Hashomer, Livneh, pediatric criteria) and new Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria. The medical charts of study and control groups were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were evaluated for three diagnostic criteria and new Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria. Control group consists of patients with other autoinflammatory diseases. A total of 1291 patients were classified into three groups according to their mutations: group 1: 447 patients with homozygous mutations; group 2: 429 patients with compound heterozygous mutations; and group 3: 415 patients with one heterozygous mutation. Similar diagnostic utility was found according to Livneh criteria between groups. But, proportion of patients fulfilling Tel-Hashomer and pediatric criteria was higher in groups 1 and 2. According to Eurofever/PRINTO criteria, 98.2% of patients with homozygous mutations, 94.2% of patients with compound heterozygous mutations and 80.2% of patients with heterozygous mutations were classified as FMF. In control group, 99.2% of them fulfilled the Livneh criteria, 66.9% met the pediatric criteria and 0.8% satisfied the Tel-Hashomer criteria, while none of control patients met the Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria. Performances of three validated diagnostic criteria and new Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria for FMF were similar and provide high utility in diagnosing/classifying patients with homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations. However, both Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria and Tel-Hashomer criteria had significantly lower performance in heterozygous patients.

[PFAPA syndrome - An important differential diagnosis in children with recurrent fever]. / PFAPA-syndrom ­ en viktig differential­diagnos hos barn med återkommande feberepisoder.

Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis and Cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is the most common autoinflammatory disorder among children in many parts of the world and an important differential diagnosis in children presenting with recurrent fever episodes. Commonly, PFAPA has an onset under the age of 5 years. Fever episodes in PFAPA usually last 3-6 days and are associated with one or more of the cardinal symptoms aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis. The fever episodes typically recur with an interval of 3-6 weeks, often with a striking regularity. During the episodes, the patient has elevated inflammatory variables such as CRP and serum amyloid A (SAA) and may sometimes have additional symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and leg pain. Between the fever episodes, the patient is typically free of symptoms with normalized inflammatory variables and grows normally. Awareness and recognition of PFAPA is key to providing the patient with adequate treatment and avoiding misdiagnosis.

Classification criteria for autoinflammatory recurrent fevers.

BACKGROUND: Different diagnostic and classification criteria are available for hereditary recurrent fevers (HRF)-familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) and cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS)-and for the non-hereditary, periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA). We aimed to develop and validate new evidence-based classification criteria for HRF/PFAPA. METHODS: Step 1: selection of clinical, laboratory and genetic candidate variables; step 2: classification of 360 random patients from the Eurofever Registry by a panel of 25 clinicians and 8 geneticists blinded to patients' diagnosis (consensus ≥80%); step 3: statistical analysis for the selection of the best candidate classification criteria; step 4: nominal group technique consensus conference with 33 panellists for the discussion and selection of the final classification criteria; step 5: cross-sectional validation of the novel criteria. RESULTS: The panellists achieved consensus to classify 281 of 360 (78%) patients (32 CAPS, 36 FMF, 56 MKD, 37 PFAPA, 39 TRAPS, 81 undefined recurrent fever). Consensus was reached for two sets of criteria for each HRF, one including genetic and clinical variables, the other with clinical variables only, plus new criteria for PFAPA. The four HRF criteria demonstrated sensitivity of 0.94-1 and specificity of 0.95-1; for PFAPA, criteria sensitivity and specificity were 0.97 and 0.93, respectively. Validation of these criteria in an independent data set of 1018 patients shows a high accuracy (from 0.81 to 0.98). CONCLUSION: Eurofever proposes a novel set of validated classification criteria for HRF and PFAPA with high sensitivity and specificity.

Autoinflammatory diseases: State of the art.

Autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by innate immunity abnormalities. In autoinflammatory diseases (AID), inflammatory blood biomarkers are elevated during crisis without infection and usually without autoantibodies. The first 4 described AID were familial Mediterranean fever, cryopyrin-associated periodic fever syndrome (CAPS) or NLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease (NRLP3-AID), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) and TNFRSF1A-receptor associated periodic fever syndrome (TRAPS). Since their description 20 years ago, and with the progresses of genetic analysis, many new diseases have been discovered; some with recurrent fever, others with predominant cutaneous symptoms or even immune deficiency. After describing the 4 historical recurrent fevers, some polygenic inflammatory diseases will also be shortly described such as Still disease and periodic fever with adenitis, pharyngitis and aphtous (PFAPA) syndrome. To better explore AID, some key anamnesis features are crucial such as the family tree, the age at onset, crisis length and organs involved in the clinical symptoms. An acute phase response is mandatory in crisis.

How to prescribe a genetic test for the diagnosis of autoinflammatory diseases?

The systemic autoinflammatory disorders (SAIDs) are associated with dysregulation of the innate immune system, affecting pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis pathways. The spectrum of SAIDs continues to grow with over 30 different disorders identified to date. The main indication for genetic referral is when a patient presents with clinical symptoms consistent with one or more of the SAIDs. Thus, in making a referral for DNA screening, clinical information that supports the choice for screening of one or more SAIDs genes is required. Many of the SAIDs can display overlapping, partial or atypical symptoms, which makes the differential diagnosis extremely difficult and thus heavily dependent on genetic testing. Various attempts have been aimed at improving the efficiency of SAIDs diagnosis by proposing a set of clinical criteria to guide the genetic analysis of the SAIDs. In the last decade, due to application of the next-generation sequencing (NGS) the genetic diagnosis in patients with SAIDs have greatly improved; novel diseases and disease-associated genes have been identified and remarkable progress has been made in the genetic characterization of the undiagnosed patients and the sporadic cases. To date more than 800 variants have been recorded on the Infevers database, an online repository for DNA changes in genes associated with SAIDs (http://fmf.igh.cnrs.fr/ISSAID/infevers/). Recently, it has been updated with the new guidelines for classification of genetic variants pathogenicity in the in four most recognised SAIDs genes: MEFV, TNFRSF1A, NLRP3 and MVK.

Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis syndrome - PFAPA syndrome.

Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is a complex autoinflammatory disease with a clinical phenotype characterised by recurrent episodes of fever, systemic inflammation and symptoms and signs depicted in disease acronym. Although PFAPA is the most common autoinflammatory disease among children in many parts of the world, the condition is still an enigma, which include the regular episodes, the prompt responses to corticosteroids, the genetic bases for the familial clustering and therapeutic effects of tonsillectomy. This review explores PFAPA syndrome with the aim of describing the current clinical and scientific understanding of the condition.

An International Delphi Survey for the Definition of New Classification Criteria for Familial Mediterranean Fever, Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency, TNF Receptor-associated Periodic Fever Syndromes, and Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: Provisional evidence-based classification criteria for hereditary periodic fever (HPF) have been recently developed. However, no consensus on how to combine clinical criteria, laboratory tests, and results of molecular analysis has been reached. The objective of this study is to understand which variables physicians consider important for the classification of patients with HPF. METHODS: Two Delphi surveys were sent to health professionals in the field of autoinflammation. In the first open survey, 124 researchers could list all the variables they consider useful for the diagnosis of each monogenic periodic fever. The variables could be of any type and each researcher could complete the survey for 1 or more diseases. In the second survey, 162 researchers were asked to select, from a list of items coming from the first survey, the 10 top variables and to rank them by assigning a score from 10 to 1. RESULTS: The response rates to the Delphi surveys were 85% for the first session and 87% for the second. The variables selected for each disease (corresponding to the third quartile, considering the total score obtained by the variables after the second Delphi survey) were 21 for mevalonate kinase deficiency, 22 for cryopyrinopathies, 18 for familial Mediterranean fever, and 20 for tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome. A positive genetic test reached the top rank in all the HPF. CONCLUSION: Our process led to the identification of those features considered the most important as candidate variables to be included in a new set of evidence-based classification criteria for HPF.

The classification, genetic diagnosis and modelling of monogenic autoinflammatory disorders.

Monogenic autoinflammatory disorders are an increasingly heterogeneous group of conditions characterised by innate immune dysregulation. Improved genetic sequencing in recent years has led not only to the discovery of a plethora of conditions considered to be 'autoinflammatory', but also the broadening of the clinical and immunological phenotypic spectra seen in these disorders. This review outlines the classification strategies that have been employed for monogenic autoinflammatory disorders to date, including the primary innate immune pathway or the dominant cytokine implicated in disease pathogenesis, and highlights some of the advantages of these models. Furthermore, the use of the term 'autoinflammatory' is discussed in relation to disorders that cross the innate and adaptive immune divide. The utilisation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in this population is examined, as are potential in vivo and in vitro methods of modelling to determine pathogenicity of novel genetic findings. Finally, areas where our understanding can be improved are highlighted, such as phenotypic variability and genotype-phenotype correlations, with the aim of identifying areas of future research.

Towards a new set of classification criteria for PFAPA syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and Cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is currently based on the modified Marshall's criteria, but no validated evidence based classification criteria for PFAPA has been established so far. METHODS: A multistep process, based on the Delphi and Nominal Group Technique was conducted. After 2 rounds of e-mail Delphi survey involving 21 experts in autoinflammation we obtained a list of variables that were discussed in an International Consensus Conference. Variables reaching the 80% of consensus between participants were included in the new classification criteria. In the second phase the new classification criteria and the modified Marshall's criteria were applied on a cohort of 80 pediatric PFAPA patients to compare their performance. RESULTS: The Delphi Survey was sent to 22 participants, 21 accepted to participate. Thirty variables were obtained from the survey and have been discussed at the Consensus Conference. Through the Nominal Group Technique we obtained a new set of classification criteria. These criteria were more restrictive in respect to the modified Marshall's criteria when applied on our cohort of patients. CONCLUSION: Our work led us to identify a new set of classification criteria for PFAPA syndrome, but they resulted to be too restrictive to be applied in daily clinical practice for the diagnosis of PFAPA.
