AbstractBlau syndrome/early-onset sarcoidosis (Blau/EOS) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by granulomatous arthritis, uveitis, and skin rash. It has been shown that gain-of-function NOD2 mutations cause Blau/EOS. In this paper, we describe a patient with a gain-of-function NOD2 mutation who developed infantile Takayasu arteritis, which is rare in Blau/EOS, but who has not yet had significant granulomatous changes in joints, eyes, or skin. We suspect that this case is an unusual phenotype of Blau/EOS.
