Las enfermedades autoinflamatorias sistémicas son un grupo de enfermedades caracterizadas por la presencia de episodios inflamatorios sistémicos, recurrentes o persistentes, que aparecen en ausencia de etiologÃa infecciosa, neoplásica o autoinmunitaria. La identificación de defectos genéticos en proteÃnas involucradas en la regulación de la inflamación ha permitido establecer las bases moleculares de cada una de ellas, asà como proveer al clÃnico de estudios genéticos para la confirmación del diagnóstico clÃnico y establecer abordajes terapéuticos basados en la etiopatogenia. El presente trabajo, estructurado en 2 partes, es una revisión actualizada y exhaustiva de las enfermedades autoinflamatorias sistémicas hereditarias. En esta primera parte presentamos los sÃndromes hereditarios de fiebre periódica, que engloban la fiebre mediterránea familiar, el sÃndrome de hiperinmuno-globulinemia D y fiebre periódica (HIDS) y el sÃndrome periódico asociado al receptor del factor de necrosis tumoral (TRAPS).
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are an heterogeneous group of systemic disorders clinically characterized by recurrent or persistent inflammatory episodes, which occur in the absence of infectious, neo-plastic or autoimmune etiology. During the past years, genetic defects affecting different proteins involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes have been identified in these diseases. These advances of-fer new genetic tools to clinicians, in order to achieve an accurate and definitive diagnostic, and to establish a tailored treatment. Pre-sent review is an updated and comprehensive overview on hereditary systemic autoinflammatory diseases, and it has been organized in 2 separate and independent parts. The first of them will introduce the group of hereditary periodic fever syndromes, which includes familial Mediterranean fever, hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome (HIDS), and tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS).
