Objective.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1–associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autoinflammatory disorder caused by autosomal dominantly inherited mutations in the TNF receptor superfamily 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene. The D12E substitution has been described only once to date, in a 4-year-old boy with fever.Methods.For DNA sequence analysis of the TNFRSF1A gene, genomic DNA was isolated, amplified by PCR, purified, and sequenced.Results.We describe 3 families (8 subjects) with the TNFRSF1A D12E substitution and TRAPS-related symptoms, in 4 cases associated with the autoimmune diseases multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.Conclusion.The clinical phenotype might be associated with the TNFRSF1A D12E mutation. There is a close pathophysiological relationship between TNF signaling and autoimmune disorders.
