The M694V homo</span>zygosity and heterozygosity were associated with increased risk of AA amyloidosis, but this association did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio 2.43; 95 % CI 0.87-6.76, and 3.33; 0.91-12.1, respectively).
MEFV mutations are found to be increased both in FMF and non-FMF associated secondary amyloidosis in our study; however, no clear association between M694V and amyloidosis is observed, except in the non-FMF group.
