Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase interacting protein-1 (PSTPIP1)–associated myeloid-related inflammatory (PAMI) syndrome with hyperzincemia is a rare autoinflam- matory disorder associated with enhanced pyrin activity and inflammasome activation. Clinical features include cutane- ous and systemic inflammation, failure to thrive, hepatos- plenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and cytopenias. Pathogenic variants in PSTPIP1 are frequently associated with pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syn- drome [1, 2]. Patients with PAMI have distinct mutations (E250K or less commonly E275K), and exhibit more pro- nounced systemic inflammation and cytopenias but less joint involvement than individuals with PAPA syndrome [3].We present two unrelated, Caucasian Irish cases of PAMI syndrome and describe the inflammatory signature associ- ated with the condition. Both patients have the same het- erozygous E250K variant in PSTPIP1; one was diagnosed as an adult, the other in childhood.
