  • A complete list of HRF gene variants is available in Infevers, the registry of autoinflammatory mutations: http://fmf.igh.cnrs.fr/ISSAID/infevers/.

  • The latest reference sequence should be used. LRG, locus reference genomic sequences.

  • * In bold: minimum set of exons recommended to screen; in grey, other exons most commonly screened for routine diagnosis of HRFs.

  • In bold and normal letters: minimum set of clearly pathogenic sequence variants recommended to screen; in bold and italics: example of rare clearly pathogenic sequence variants suggested to be screened; in normal letters: sequence variants of uncertain significance; in italics and greyed examples of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms not to be reported; in parentheses: common names of TNFRSF1A mutations.

  • CAPS, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome; FMF, familial Mediterranean fever; HRFs, hereditary recurrent fevers; MKD, mevalonate kinase deficiency;

  • TRAPS, tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome.
