We report a novel pathogenic NOD2 variant in a multiplex family with clinical features compatible with the BS diagnosis. This condition is inherited as a dominant trait in its familial form and should be considered in patients with granulomatous uveitis in association with arthritis and/or dermatitis. Further insight into NOD2 variants and their downstream effects may have implications in the treatment of BS and other inflammatory granulomatous diseases.
