Genetic predisposition (NLRP3 V198M mutation) for IL-1–mediated inflammation in a patient with Schnitzler syndrome Jan Loock, MD, Peter Lamprecht, MD, Christian Timmann, MD, Ulrich Mrowietz, MD, Elena Csernok, PhD, Wolfgang L.

Fig 1 Genomic organisation of the NLRP3 gene and a DNA-sequencing electropherogram demonstrating the G592A exchange. NLRP3 is made up of exons 1 to 9 between the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) and the 3′ UTR ( Exons 3 and 4 were amplified and sequenced bidirectionally as described.4 The electropherogram showed heterozygosity at position G592A (arrows) of the patient. The G to A exchange causes a valine-to-methionine substitution (V198M).

Boxes represent males; circles, females; open shapes, healthy individuals; filled shape, patient with Schnitzler syndrome; shapes with slashes, deceased individuals. V198M/wt, Heterozygous carriers of the V198M NLRP3 mutation; wt/wt, individuals without mutations within exons 3 and 4 of the NLRP3 gene.
