Autoimmune hereditary fever  

TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED PERIODIC SYNDROME (TRAPS)

•Familial Hibernian Fever (FHF)

•Benign autosomal dominant familial periodic fever (FPF)

•Autosomal dominant periodic fever with amyloidosis

 

 

 

 

TRAPS

•     a dominantly inherited disorder

•     Irish or Scottish ancestry

•     episodic attacks of fever

•     severe localized inflammation

•     systemic amyloidosis

 

 

 

TRAPS

•   episodes much longer than in FMF, lasting longer >1 week sometimes for 4-6 weeks

•   conjunctival inflammation

•   periorbital edema

•   migratory myalgia  and rash

•   erysipelas like erythema

•   corticosteroids >> effective than colchicines

 

 

 

 

 

mutations in TNFRSF1 A
on chromosome 12p13

gene encodes the 55 kDa TNF receptor

(p55, TNFR1, CD120a)

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

TRAPS

14 TNFRSF1 A mutations:

•   7 - missense changes that disrupt conserved extracellular disulfide bonds

•   1-  a missense mutation that abolishes a conserved hydrogen bond in CRD1

•   1 is a splicing mutation causing the insertion of 4 amino acids in CRD1,

•   and the remainder are missense substitutions of residues closely adjacent to cysteines.

 

 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

TRAPS

•   Inflammatory from impaired cleavage of TNFRSF1 A ectodomain upon cellular activation

•   Normally, cleavage or TNFR has a negative homeostatic effect, (reducing the number of receptors on the cell surface, and creating a pool of potentially antagonistic soluble receptor.)

•   Reduced levels of soluble p55 TNF receptor

•   Soluble p55 levels in TRAPS patients show a minimal increase during inflammatory episodes.

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

A pilot study of anti-TNF therapy
in TRAPS:

 

 

•   Patients have been treated etanercept (Enbrel) (recombinant p75 TNFR:Fc fusion protein) at the standard dosage for adult or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

•   F/U  2 -10 mo, clinical and laboratory responses have been encouraging

.

 

•      Petechiae and Purpura on the Lower Right Leg during a Febrile Attack in a Patient with the Hyper-IgD Syndrome.

•      The skin lesions disappeared a week after the end of the attack. The clinical findings in this patient (Patient 30 in the hyper-IgD syndrome

 

 

Familial Hibernian fever

•      In the year 409 AD Irish tribes of Hibernia liberate Britain from the Romans and settle in Northwest Britain and Wales.

•      By 410 AD the kingdom of powys is founded. A major rebuilding of the city of Virconium begins.

•      Vortigern assumes control of central and southern Britain. Vortigern offers friendship to the Irish kingdoms of western wales and northwest Britain.

•      There is peace in Britain.

 

HIDS criteria

•      CONSTANTLY


•      High IgD (100 U/mL) measured at 2 occasions with at least one month apart

 

HIDS

•      1984, Van der Meer and colleagues (6 patients with periodic fever and a constantly elevated polyclonal IgD

 

•      Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D (hyper-IgD) and periodic fever syndrome (called here HIDS)

 

HIDS

•      Nijmegen HIDS registry: 144 cases of this new syndrome

 

•      Most patients stem from (West) European countries

 

•      Clear preponderance for  the Netherlands or the north of France

 

 

 

HIDS

•      long history of episodic attacks of fever

•      The majority has attacks before the end of their first year of life

•      Attacks occur every 4-8 weeks

•      Last 3-7 days

•      Attacks persist throughout life although patients experience a reduction in intensity and frequency of attacks after adolescence.

 

_________________________________________________________________HIDS: Clinical symptoms

•      Lymphadenopathy

•      abdominal pain and diarrhoea

•      Headache

•      hepato/splenomegaly

•      arthralgia/ arthritis

•      skin lesions

•      In some - aphtous mouth or vaginal ulcers.

•      In most patients - no apparent symptoms between attacks

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

HIDS: Laboratory analysis

•      Acute phase response with high C-reactive

•      Leukocytosis

•      Increased TNFa , IL-6 and  IFN-g

•      Also anti-inflammatory compounds: IL-1ra, sTNFr p55 and sTNFr p75)

•      Most typical: serum IgD (> 100 U/mL comparable to 141 mg/l)

•      Majority has also elevated serum IgA levels.

 

 

HIDS: Treatment

•      Largely supportive since various standard anti-inflammatory drugs (including colchicine and steroids) failed to suppress the attacks.

 

•      Currently there are trials underway judging the effect of thalidomide and simvastatine in HIDS

 

_________________________________________________________________

 

HIDS: genetic disorder

•      15 families with 34 affected members

•      Hereditary trait being autosomal recessive.

•      Highly homogenic genetical disorder with complete penetrance. 

•      Linkage analysis:  long arm of chromosome 12 (12q24).

•      Mevalonate kinase is the HIDS gene.

 

 

HIDS: Mevalonate kinase (MVK)

•      a homodimeric enzyme presents in the peroxisomes of every mammalian cell

•      Follows 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase in the cholesterol synthesis

•      Converts mevalonate into 5-phosphomevalonate.

 

 

 

HIDS: Mevalonate kinase (MVK)

•      4 missense mutations and a 92bp deletion in the MVK encoding gene,

•      V377I being the most frequent mutation

 

•      A moderate (5-15%) functional defect of  MVK as tested in cultured fibroblasts or lymphocytes.

•      As yet it is unclear why a disorder in the cholesterol metabolism can cause a disorder of periodic inflammatory attacks

•       Elevated ESR and leukocytosis

•       Abrupt onset of fever (38.5°C)

•       Recurrent attacks

•       Lymphadenopathy (cervical)

•       Abdominal distress: vomiting, diarrhoea, pain
