Abstract
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor 12-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP12-AID) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. In this study, we reported a case of this rare disease with a novel NLRP12 mutation (A218V, rs749659859). The patient displayed typical symptoms, including recurrent fever, arthralgia, and skin allergies. Elevated serum IgE, decreased apolipoprotein A1, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fluctuating levels of various leukocyte subtypes, procalcitonin, IL6, creatine kinase, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were also detected. Inflammatory lesions were observed in multiple organs using 18F-FDG PET/CT. By mining single-cell transcriptome data, we identified relatively high expression of NLRP12 in monocytes compared to other human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. NLRP12-positive monocytes exhibited reduced expression of IL18, CCL3, and TNFA compared to NLRP12-negative monocytes. Structural analyses suggested that the A218V mutation, along with A218T and F402L, may reduce the ATP-binding affinity of the NLRP12 protein. These findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms of NLRP12-AID, and suggest the potential ATP-based therapy for further investigation.
