Phenotypic Associations of PSTPIP1 Sequence Variants in PSTPIP1-Associated Autoinflammatory Diseases

Abstract

Pathogenic variants in the PSTPIP1 gene cause pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome. They were also identified in a broad spectrum of phenotypes. As their interpretation is sometimes challenging, we discuss the genotype-phenotype association in PSTPIP1-associated autoinflammatory diseases (PAIDs) in light of a recent consensus classification of variant pathogenicity. Only 7 of 39 (18%) of the PSTPIP1 variants found in all reported cases and our national reference center (161 patients [114 probands]) were pathogenic. They were clearly associated with PAPA and PSTPIP1-associated myeloid-related proteinemia inflammatory syndrome (PAMI), reflecting a variable clinical expression of PAIDs.
