M, male; F, female; Het, heterozygous; D, damaging; B, benign; L, likely damaging; FCAS, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome; MWS, Muckle–Wells syndrome; CINCA, chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous articular syndrome; NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; PR, partial remission; and CR, complete remission. Computational prediction: Letters represent the prediction of REVEL, SIFT, Polyphen-2, MutationTaster, GERP+, and final classification (American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics) in turn. The dot represented the lack of prediction results in this way. The medication regimen after the detection of the gene mutation was marked once more on the basis of the medication applied before the gene mutation seizure, and there were no new drugs after the seizure. + represents past treatment medication, and ++ represents current treatment medication.
