Blau syndrome
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-001372
A rare, autosomal dominant genetic inflammatory disorder characterized by the triad of granulomatous arthritis, dermatitis, and uveitis. The condition is caused by mutations in the NOD2 gene, which leads to constitutive activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and chronic inflammation. Symptoms typically manifest in early childhood, before the age of four.
