In this study, we analyzed the most common five mutations in MEFV gene of 202 patients who were diagnosed formerly as FMF according to Tel-Hashomer criteria.
The aim of this study was to examine the controversial issue of amyloidosis susceptibility in FMF by determining the relative contributions of MEFV and numerous epidemiologic factors to the risk of renal amyloidosis.
Co-occurrence of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) heterozygote mutation and nail-patella syndrome (NPS) in 3 members of a family with LMX1B mutation analysis.
The present study reports the frequencies of MEFV mutations in 558 Lebanese and 55 Jordanian FMF patients and points out the severity of the M694V frequently observed mutation among these patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for diagnosis of FMF and to detect the prevalence of the most common MEFV gene (FMF gene) mutations, M694V and V726A in FMF Egyptian patients.
