Abstract:
:Genetic and functional analyses of the inflammasome suggest a role for this multiprotein complex in the biological mechanisms leading to the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors trigger the activation and assembly of specific inflammasomes in response to danger signals. Mining exome sequencing data from 326 MS patients identified 17 rare missense or nonsense variants in NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP1), NLRP3, NLRP6, NLRP7 and NLR family CARD domain containing 4 (NLRC4). Genotyping these variants in 2503 MS cases and 1076 healthy controls did not result in statistically significant differences between groups, and segregation analysis within MS families was largely unsupportive of co-segregation of these variants with disease. However, the identification of MS patients harboring rare homozygote variants in NLRP1 (p.Ile601Phe and p.Ser1387Ile), a variant in NLRP3 (p.Leu832Ile) resulting in the substitution of a critical amino acid for the formation of its leucine-rich repeat domain, and several MS patients with NLRC4 variants (p.Arg310Ter and p.Glu600Ter) causing protein truncations suggest that rare protein-altering variants in inflammasome-activating NLR receptors may contribute to MS risk.
