Clinical Trial Summary
Main objective: To compare the efficacy of a new strategy of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
versus a classical Sanger strategy, for the diagnosis of patients referred to the laboratory
for suspected systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID).
Secondary objectives:
- Compare after 6 months the impact of these strategies on the establishment of an
effective treatment SAID following genetic result.
- Compare the distribution of different forms of SAID found with each genetic diagnostic
strategies (NGS vs classic method).
Description:
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID) include a broad spectrum of pathologies of innate
immunity. In recent years, numerous publications have shown the involvement of new genes in
these diseases, highlighting new pathophysiological pathways (inflammasome, NFkB: nuclear
factor-kappa B, interferon) and new targeted therapies (biotherapy advantageously replacing
non-specific anti-inflammatory drugs). Current laboratory diagnostic strategy is based on the
Sanger method, the gold standard to date, allowing the sequential analysis of some genes
(usually between 1 and 4). The nonspecific nature of the clinical presentation of these
diseases, the increasing number of genes involved and the low diagnostic yield obtained, make
it essential to develop a new strategy, more efficient, so that the patient can benefit as
soon as possible treatment suited to his pathology as soon as the gene involved is
identified. The investigator had developed and validated in our genetic laboratories a new
method based on the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). A panel of 32 known or candidate SAID
genes, which can be simultaneously analyzed within a time compatible with the diagnosis. The
investigator wishes to highlight the benefits of this new strategy.
