We present a novel mutation in the TNFRSF1A gene associated with amyloidosis. Canakinumab is an effective treatment for individuals with this new likely pathogenic variant. Alterations in the metabolome were most prominent in the pathways related to arginine biosynthesis, tryptophan metabolism and metabolism of cysteine & methionine and seemed to be unaffected by treatment with canakinumab. Further investigation is needed to determine the role of these metabolomic changes in the pathophysiology of TRAPS.
