Tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 associated periodic syndrome

TRAPS is an autoinflammatory disease associated with heterozygous mutations in the gene coding for tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1 (TNFR1). This results in clinical attacks of inflammation in the form of fever and serositis in the form of peritoneal, pleural or synovial inflammation along with increased acute phase reactants.
