Background:Few patients have been described in the literature with mutations in the Lacasa Domain containing one (LACC1) gene. Its clinical presentation usually associates sustained systemic inflammation associated with chronic polyarticular erosive arthritis. Until now, there have been multiple treatments described to try to control the disease, however, they are generally unsuccessful in the long term.Objectives:Describe the clinical course of a patient as well as the different treatments usedMethods:Clinical chart reviewResults:Female 18-year-old born from a consanguineous Moroccan couple. Mother, brother and sister with similar conditions. She started at 3 years with fever, anemia, intense elevation of acute phase reactants and symmetric polyarthritis (knees, elbows, carps, shoulders, hands and ankles). Subsequent whole exome sequencing identified c.128_129delGT mutation in the LACC1/FAMIN gene. During the course of her illness, she has received treatment with oral, intravenous and infiltrated corticosteroid, methotrexate and etanercept, without getting adequate control of the disease. In 2016, she started treatment with tocilizumab (8 mg / kg every two weeks), obtaining an acceptable control of the disease (requiring periodic infiltrations every 2-3 months due to persistent arthritis). Nonetheless, in April 2019, she consulted for clinical worsening of the arthritis and laboratory test (C reactive protein 99.7 mg / L, erythrosedimentation rate 53 mm / h, leukocytes 13,500/µL and neutrophils 10,930/µL). At that time, she discontinued therapy with tocilizumab and started tofacitinib 5 mg every 12 hours with good evolution. Since its introduction, it has not required joint infiltration again and the inflammatory parameters (persistently elevated previously) have normalized.Conclusion:The jak kinasa inhibitors may be a treatment option in those patients with bad response to conventional therapy.References:[1]Rabionet R, Remesal A, Mensa-Vilaró A, Murías S, Alcobendas R, González-Roca E, Ruiz-Ortiz E, Antón J, Iglesias E, Modesto C, Comas D, Puig A, Drechsel O, Ossowski S, Yagüe J, Merino R, Estivill X, Arostegui JI.
