The assessment of autoinflammatory disease classification criteria (Eurofever/PRINTO) in a real-life cohort.

We found the sensitivity of the Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria to be low as genotypic changes between populations cause phenotypic differences. For this reason, we think that patient-based evaluation is correct rather than standard classification criteria in real life. Key-points • In systemic autoinflammatory diseases, common variants in the populations may alter the phenotype, and making it difficult to classify some patients with the current classification criteria. • In populations with common genetic variants, the classification criteria should be modified according to the clinical phenotype.
