Heterozygous MEFV Mutation Leading to Renal Failure: A Case Study. [PDF]
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, particularly common in the Mediterranean area. Mutations in the MEVF gene cause it. AA Amyloidosis is the most severe complication of FMF leading to chronic renal failure. We describe a rare pediatric case of a phenotype I familial Mediterranean fever with V726A heterozygous ...

MEFV mutations - therapeutic guides or red herrings? [PDF]
Background/question Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder characterised by self-resolving attacks of fever and serositis common in populations from Mediterranean ancestry [1]. Mutations affecting MEFV gene is believed to be responsible for the disease phenotype[1]. The correlation between the genotype and phenotype is

Prediction of More Severe MEFV Gene Mutations in Childhood
This study aimed to present the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of children clinically diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and to predict more severe mutations by evaluating those findings.We enrolled cases diagnosed with FMF with a defined variation in at least one allele.

A Negative Correlation Between MEFV Mutations and Allergic Diseases
Aim:Atopy is associated with a genetic predisposition to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. In this study, we aimed to compare the prevalence of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) mutations in asthma and ...

PW01-003 – Frequency of MEFV mutations in Turkish population [PDF]
Our results showed that 62 of 388 participants (16.0%) (95% CI:12.5-20.0) were carriers of MEFV mutations. Seven individuals were compound heterozygous, two homozygous and 53 were heterozygous for the mutations. Mutation frequency was 9.2% (95% CI: 7.22-11.4). The most common mutations in the Turkish general population were p.E148Q, p.M694V and p.P369S
