Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effectiveness of the JAK 1/3 inhibitor tofacitinib in treating Blau syndrome and explore the association between various clinical and genetic features and therapeutic responses within the cohort.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Blau Syndrome (BS) is a monogenic systemic autoinflammatory disease characterized by dominantly inherited granulomatous inflammation due to mutations in nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 gene (NOD2). Traditionally associated with a clinical trial of arthritis, dermatitis, and uveitis, recent observations have expanded its recognized manifestations to include systemic inflammatory features, skin or cutaneous vasculitis, and multi-organ involvement. Despite the rarity of BS, significant advances have been made through multi-center collaborations. Current studies, primarily retrospective, highlight the clinical diversity of BS, including cases with disease-causing NOD2 mutations but lacking the typical clinical trial . In response to gaps in understanding of BS's pathogenic mechanisms, the investigators initiated a retrospective observational study to collect detailed clinical data and perform whole exome sequencing, specifically targeting NOD2 mutations and STAT3 rs2293152 phenotypic variations to explore their relationships with therapeutic responses.
