NALP1 in Vitiligo-Associated Multiple Autoimmune Disease

TL;DR: DNA sequence variants in the NALP1 region are associated with the risk of several epidemiologically associated autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, implicating the innate immune system in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

NLRP1 haplotypes associated with vitiligo and autoimmunity increase interleukin-1β processing via the NLRP1 inflammasome

TL;DR: Nuclear localization leucine-rich-repeat protein 1 (NLRP1) RNA and protein levels were not altered by the predominant high-risk haplotype, indicating that altered function of the corresponding multivariant NLRP1 polypeptide predisposes to autoimmune diseases by activation of the NL RP1 inflammasome.
