Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare inherited autoinflammatory disease characterized by fevers, rashes, arthralgia, conjunctivitis, and sensorineural hearing loss. In MWS, NLRP3 gene mutations are associated with excessive interleukin-1 release. MWS is part of a spectrum of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS).
