But no significant differences were detected in either genotype or allele distributions between case and control groups for the polymorphism rs11466023 (P > .05).MEFV gene polymorphism rs3743930</span> might be significantly associated with AS susceptibility in Chinese Han population, and its G allele might predict high risk of AS.
The aim of the current study was to determine the contributions of several common mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene, namely, E148Q, M680I, M694V and V726A, to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility.
The aim of this study was to analyze the association of common MEFV variations (M694V, M680I, V726A, and E148Q) with AS in a group of Turkish patients.
