Am J Hum Genet 62:1446-51. 1998....
Germline mutations in the extracellular domains of the 55 kDa TNF receptor, TNFR1, define a family of dominantly inherited autoinflammatory syndromesM F McDermott
Medical Unit, St Bartholomew s and The Royal London Hospital School of Medicine and Dentistry, Whitechapel, London, England
Cell 97:133-44. 1999..TNFR1-associated periodic syndromes (TRAPS) establish an important class of mutations in TNF receptors. Detailed analysis of one such mutation suggests impaired cytokine receptor clearance as a novel mechanism of disease...

Department of Diabetes and Metabolic Medicine, St Bartholomew s and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary and Westfield College, UK
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand) 47:619-35. 2001..Over the past 10 years these concepts have been used as the basis for successful anti-TNF therapy of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease...
Allelic variants in genes associated with hereditary periodic fever syndromes as susceptibility factors for reactive systemic AA amyloidosisE Aganna
Department of Diabetes and Metabolic Medicine, Barts and London, Queen Mary s School of Medicine and Dentistry, Whitechapel, London, UK
Genes Immun 5:289-93. 2004..Although allelic variants in HPFs genes are not major susceptibility factors for AA amyloidosis in chronic inflammatory disease, low-penetrance variants of MEFV and TNFRSF1A may have clinically significant proinflammatory effects...
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) in a Dutch family: evidence for a TNFRSF1A mutation with reduced penetranceE Aganna
Unit of Molecular Medicine, Department of Diabetes and Metabolic Medicine, St Bartholomew s and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, UK
Eur J Hum Genet 9:63-6. 2001..As this R92P mutation is present in two unaffected carriers it appears to be less penetrant than previously reported TNFRSF1A mutations involving cysteine residues in the extracellular domains...
TNF and TNFR polymorphisms in severe sepsis and septic shock: a prospective multicentre studyA C Gordon
Institute of Cell and Molecular Science and William Harvey Research Institute, Barts and The London Queen Mary s School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of London, London, UK
