Autoinflammatory diseases are rare diseases that often involve a difficult and late diagnosis, with a complex and prolonged treatment. After the discovery in 1997 of the first causal gene for an autoinflammatory disease called familial Mediterranean fever, substantial progress was made in this field. The identification of the inflammasome and other inflammatory pathways as altered key mechanisms, the development of massive sequencing techniques, and the interest in identifying disease have contributed to the research and identification of more and more autoinflammatory diseases of genetic origin.
