Frequencies of the Common Mefv Gene Mutations in Adiyaman, Southeast Anatolia, Turkey

Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics, 2014
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by fever and serosal inflammation. The reasons for the disorder are mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene; the most common of which are M694V, M680I, M694I and

The Role of NLRP1, AIM2 and MEFV Inflammasomes in the High‐Intensity Interval Training of Individuals With Obesity

Immunology, EarlyView.
This study shows that 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) modulate inflammasome‐related gene expression in individuals with obesity. HIIT increased AIM2, MEFV, CARD16 and CARD18 expression, with CARD16 upregulation supporting reduced inflammation through inhibition of caspase‐1 activation and lower IL‐1β levels.

Course of COVID-19 in patients carrying different MEFV mutations of familial Mediterranean fever

Medicine Science
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a genetic auto-inflammatory disease. Mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene cause inappropriate immune system triggering, leading to inflammatory episodes in the peritoneum, pleura, and joints.

Relevance of gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms to susceptibility to Mediterranean spotted fever. [PDF]

, 2009
The acute phase of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is characterized by dramatic changes in cytokine production patterns, clearly indicating their role in the immunomodulation of the response against the microorganism, and the differences in cytokine ...

TNF Inhibitor Therapy in Corticosteroid‐Resistant or ‐Dependent Pediatric Neutrophilic Dermatosis

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neutrophilic dermatoses are rare in children. Systemic corticosteroids are the first‐line treatment, but guidelines for second‐line therapies are lacking. We report five cases of children with systemic steroid‐resistant/dependent neutrophilic dermatoses, successfully treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.

FMF is not always “fever”: from clinical presentation to “treat to target”

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Familial Mediterranean Fever, a monogenic autoinflammatory disease secondary to MEFV gene mutations in the chromosome 16p13, is characterized by recurrent self-limiting attacks of fever, arthritis, aphthous changes in lips and/or oral mucosa, erythema ...

HHV‐8/KSHV in Solid Organ Transplantation: Current Gaps of Knowledge and Future Directions

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Risk mitigation strategies, including donors/recipients screening, DNAemia monitoring in recipients at risk, CNI‐to‐mTOR inhibitors switch, antivirals, and rituximab for KICS, may mitigate the impact of HHV‐8/KSHV infection in SOT. This review provides an update on KICS, identifies research gaps, and summarizes advances in screening and management ...
