An Instrument for the Accurate Measurement of MEFV Parameters

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1971
An instrument which measures maximally forced expiratory airflow directly, computes its integral (lung volume decrement ), and interrupts the storage oscilloscope display of this flow-volume trajectory at fixed but adjustable intervals of time is described. This new device is portable and does not involve bellows or a water-filled canister.

The journey of MEFV heterozygous children: with or without colchicine

European Journal of Pediatrics
To investigate the rate of colchicine use in the longitudinal follow-up of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) carriers and identify variables that could predict the necessity of colchicine treatment in this group. The study was conducted in 9 pediatric rheumatology centers.

Familial Mediterranean Fever, Polyarteritis Nodosa and Mefv Mutations

Turkish Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2013
COnCluSiOn: Since M694V is accepted to be associated with more severe inflammation as compared to other mutations, one can speculate that this enhanced inflammation may predispose to PAN and MEFV mutations and probably contribute to the risk of developing PAN in areas where FMF is endemic.

Are carriers for MEFV mutation "healthy"?

2006
Objective. We aimed to compare whether carriers for the MEFV mutations display an increase or decrease in certain features. We compared the frequency of a number of inflammatory symptoms and diseases in carriers and a control population. Methods. A questionnaire was designed to be applied to parents of children with FMF and a control group of parents ...

MEFV gene variations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Modern Rheumatology, 2013
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)-associated MEFV gene variations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: The study group comprised 190 SLE patients and 101 healthy controls of Turkish origin with no ...

Long-term follow-up of paediatric MEFV carriers

Clinical Rheumatology, 2017
Although familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is inherited autosomal recessively, some heterozygotes may express disease phenotype and require therapy. To date, there is no study in the literature about how to follow-up Mediterranean fever (MEFV) heterozygotes who do not fulfil FMF criteria in the paediatric age group.

TNFRSF1A and MEFV mutations in childhood onset multiple sclerosis

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2018
To investigate frequency and phenotype of TNFRSF1A and MEFV mutations in childhood-onset multiple sclerosis (MS). Twenty-nine clinically well characterized patients were investigated for mutations in exons 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the TNFRSF1A gene and in exons 2, 3, 9, 10 of the MEFV gene.

The Spectrum of MEFV Mutations in an Arabic Cohort

Qatar Foundation Annual Research Forum Proceedings, 2011
Abstract Background: Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of disorders characterized by seemingly unprovoked inflammation in the absence of high-titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder.

MEFV heterogeneity in Turkish Familial Mediterranean Fever patients

Molecular Biology Reports, 2009
Turkey is one of the few countries in the world where Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in MEFV, the gene encoding pyrin, is not rare. Many interesting studies regarding the genetics of Familial Mediterranean Fever in Turkey have been already published.
