Overview

TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (also known as TRAPS or familial Hibernian fever) is a periodic fever syndrome associated with mutation in a receptor for the molecule tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Since this disease first described in Ireland, it was called Hibernian fever in reference to the ancient Latin name for Ireland, Hibernia.

Historical Perspective

  • TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome was first described by Dr. Williamson in 1982 in an Irish-Scottish family affected by an autosomal dominant pattern disorder.[1]
  • The association between the TNFRSF1A gene locus and TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome was made in 1998.[2]
  • In 2003, Dr. Weyhreter was the first to use etanercept (a fusion protein of the extracellular domain of TNFRSF1A and the Fc portion of IgG1) for the treatment of TRAPS, which results successful treatment of the patient.[3]

Classification

There is no established system for the classification of TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome.

Pathophysiology

  • TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder due to mutation in the TNF Receptor Super Family 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene.[4]
  • Mutation in the gene is associated with abnormally structured TNF receptor which leads to impaired TNF-a binding and subsequent abnormal function of this factor in apoptosis and NF-κB pathway. However, the exact mechanisms causing febrile episodes remain to be cleared.[5][6][7]
  • Another hypothese is that mutation in the gene results in intracellular accumulation of the receptor. This abnormal accumulation of the receptor leads to an exaggerated inflammatory response to low levels of innate stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS).[8]

The main source of TNF is cells in the immune system called macrophages which produce it in response to infection and other stimuli. TNF helps activate other immune cells and plays a major role in the initiation of inflammation. Individuals with TRAPS have a mutation in the tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) gene. The mechanisms by which mutations in TNFR1 lead to the TRAPS phenotype are still under investigation.

Differentiating ((Page name)) from Other Diseases

  • [Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • The incidence of TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome is approximately 0.06 per 100,000 individuals of 16 years of age or younger worldwide.[9]
  • TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome commonly affects individuals of 3 years of age. However, due to overlap of the symptoms with other disorders and possible misdiagnosis, it may be diagnosed in adolescence or adulthood. In addition, the variants with low penetrance tend to manifest later in the adult life.[10]
  • Although, first described in Ireland, this disorder has also been reported in other countries. However, it is especially common in Western countries rather than Asian countries.[11][12][13]

Risk Factors

  • There are no established risk factors for TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome. However, attacks may be triggered by factors such as:

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome.
