- ●Five humanized mouse lines expressing common human NLRP3 or one of four CAPS mutations spanning FCAS to NOMID
- ●Syntenic human NLRP3 locus replacement recapitulates the full disease severity spectrum
- ●Species-specific regulation and intramolecular epistasis influence disease-associated variant modeling
