Overview

The exact pathogenesis of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is not fully understood. It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].

OR

[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.

OR

Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.

OR


[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].

OR

The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].

OR

The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • The exact pathogenesis of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is not completely understood.

OR

  • It is understood that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
  • The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Genetics

  • Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is transmitted in the autosomal dominant pattern.[1][2]
  • NLRP3 gene encoding a protein called cryopyrin (also known as nacht domain-, leucine-rich repeat- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 [NALP3] or pyrin domain-containing apoptotic protease activating factor 1-like protein [PYPAF1] involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder.
  • Cryopyrin is derived from the Greek words for icy cold and fire. The recurrent episodes of this disease are usually triggered by cold.

Associated Conditions

  • Conditions associated with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome include:


Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
