This study expands the localization of TNFRSF1A mosaic variants to the CRD1 domain. Noticeably, residues involved in germline TNFRSF1A mutational hot spots can also be involved in post-zygotic mutational events. Including our study, only four patients have been thus far reported with TNFRSF1A mosaicism highlighting the need for a high-depth NGS-based approach to avoid the misdiagnosis of TRAPS. Genetic counseling has to consider the potential occurrence of TNFRSF1A mosaic variants in germinal cells.
