Overview

Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome was first described by Dr. Hoffman, in 2001, following the identification of the NLRP3 gene as the causative mutant gene in families with Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS).^[1]
The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].
In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].
In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].

The following are a few famous cases of [disease name]:
