Heterozygous MEFV Mutation Leading to Renal Failure: A Case Study
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, particularly common in the Mediterranean area. Mutations in the MEVF gene cause it. AA Amyloidosis is the most severe complication of FMF leading to chronic renal failure. We describe

Distribution of MEFV gene mutations and R202Q polymorphism in the Serbian population and their influence on oxidative stress and clinical manifestations of inflammation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene codes for protein pyrin, one of the regulators of inflammasome activity in innate immune cells. Mutations in this gene are considered the primary cause of Familial Mediterranean fever, but are also found in

Targeted Anti‐Inflammatory Therapy in Cardiovascular Events: Challenges and Opportunities
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular events. Traditional treatments primarily focus on lipid‐lowering and antithrombotic strategies; however, these ...
