  Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder clinically classified as one of the three forms of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS). CAPS is a hereditary disorder that results from genetic mutations in the NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) gene. These mutations lead to the overproduction of proinflammatory interleukin 1β (IL-1β), which is the underlying cause of CAPS symptoms. MWS is characterized by recurring episodes of fever, headache, urticarial rash, arthralgia, or arthritis that occur without a specific trigger. These episodes typically begin in early childhood, with a median age of onset at 0.8 years. 40% to 80% of individuals with MWS experience intense fatigue, which can lead to social isolation. In some patients, these episodes last more than 24 hours and can occur as frequently as 24 times per year. MWS patients at high risk for severe disease activity can be identified at the time of diagnosis. Female patients with hearing loss, musculoskeleta...
