Association of FMF-Related (MEFV) Point Mutations with Secondary and FMF Amyloidosis

Nephron Clinical Practice, 2004
<i>Background:</i> Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the major cause of AA amyloidosis in Turkey. M694V mutation in MEFV gene was suggested to be associated with severe clinical features and amyloidosis of FMF. <i>Methods:</i> In this study, the frequencies of three FMF-related MEFV mutations (M694V, M680I and V726A) were ...
