  • *Other includes atypical CAPS (patients with a confirmed NLRP3 mutation and an atypical clinical presentation or patients with typical CAPS symptoms but without confirmed pathogenic mutations in NLRP3; n=18) and non-CAPS diagnoses (n=24); non-CAPS diagnoses include systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n=8), unspecified autoinflammatory syndromes (n=5), familial Mediterranean fever (n=3), mevalonate kinase deficiency (n=2), adult-onset Still’s disease (n=2), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (n=1), Erdheim-Chester disease (n=1), Blau syndrome (n=1) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (n=1).

  • †Creatinine levels, proteinuria and CSF abnormalities assessed by the investigator as clinically significant.

  • CAPS, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome; CRP, C reactive protein; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; FCAS, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome; MWS, Muckle-Wells syndrome; NLRP3, nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain (NOD)-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 gene; NOMID, neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease; SAA, serum amyloid A.
