Abstract
This is the first report of a CARD15 mutation–positive patient with Blau syndrome who exhibited interstitial lung disease, a feature historically considered absent from Blau syndrome, while typical of the adult form of sarcoidosis. This case illustrates the continued evolution of the phenotype of a disease initially conceived as a familial inflammatory granulomatous disease limited to the triad of synovitis, dermatitis, and uveitis.

## Background: Three mutations (r702w, g908r, and 1007fs) of the card15/nod2 gene associate with crohn's disease (cd). despite a strong linkage of cd to the inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) 1 region, only 16% of the finnish cd patients carry 1 of these 3 mutations, pointing to the possibility of ye
Eight unrelated Italian patients with the hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia, and homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome were analyzed for mutations in the ORNT1 gene. Seven novel mutations were identified (Q89X, G27R, G190D, R275Q, c.861insG, c.164insA, and IVS5+1G→ → A). Other previously described varian
