The association of MEFV gene mutations with the disease risk and severity of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis

open access: yesPediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2020
Background Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) has many clinical features overlapping with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), which is caused by mutations in MEFV gene. And FMF patients were easily misdiagnosed as sJIA in China.

MEFV gene mutations in neuro‐Behçet's disease and neuro‐Sweet disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019
Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations are associated with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Recent studies have suggested that MEFV gene mutations may act as disease modifiers in neuro‐Behçet's (NBD) disease and neuro‐Sweet disease (NSD).
