Sporadic Blau syndrome

Summary

A rare systemic inflammatory disease with characteristics of early onset granulomatous arthritis, uveitis and skin rash. There are familial and sporadic forms of the same disease. The disease is due to an inherited or de novo mutation in the NOD2 gene (16q12), responsible for alterations in the innate immune response, inflammation and cell death. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
