Genetic variation in the familial Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) and risk for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

PLoS ONE, 2009
Background and aimsThe familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) gene (MEFV) encodes pyrin, a major regulator of the inflammasome platform controlling caspase-1 activation and IL-1beta processing. Pyrin has been shown to interact with the gene product of NLRP3,

A HYPOTHETICAL ROLE FOR PLAGUE IN THE SELECTION OF MEFV MUTATION CARRIERS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA

Central Asian Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ethics, 2020
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common autoinflammatory disease associated with mutations in the MEFV gene encoding Pyrin. MEFV mutations are frequent in the Mediterranean region.

Long‐term echocardiographic findings in patients with idiopathic recurrent pericarditis treated with anakinra

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Idiopathic recurrent pericarditis (IRP) is considered an autoinflammatory disease, and interleukin 1 inhibitors, such as anakinra, are used to treat resistant cases. Constrictive pericarditis, a feared complication, continues to be a critical concern. In the biologic era, evidence on long‐term transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) findings

MEFV Gene Mutation Analysis in Children with Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis and Its Effects on Clinical Manifestations: A Big Series from a Tertiary Center

Haseki Tıp Bülteni
Aim: Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is the most common vasculitis of childhood, but its pathogenesis is largely unknown, despite evidence pointing to various environmental and genetic factors. We investigated the frequency of MEFV gene mutations that

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn
