Visible mould and blood inflammatory phenotypes of asthma in adults: the CONSTANCES cohort

Studying the associations between indoor mould contamination and blood inflammatory phenotypes may provide further insight into the mechanisms by which this environmental factor affects asthma. Among 1870 adults with current asthma from a population-based cohort, 29.6% reported v...

An N-terminal CDC42 T43I variant reveals the mechanism of pyrin inflammasome activation

Heterozygous carboxyl-terminal variants in the RHO guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) CDC42 are known to cause severe autoinflammatory syndromes. Here, we identified a heterozygous amino-terminal p.T43I (Thr 43 →Ile) CDC42 variant in patients with autoinflammation and uncovered a...
