Our results suggest that the association of MEFV with BD could be modulated by the HLA molecules; whereas the protective effect of NOD2 p.Arg702Trp would be independent of HLA.

Furthermore, carriage of the familial Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutation Met694Val, which is known to cause recessively inherited familial Mediterranean fever, conferred BD risk in the Turkish population (OR, 2.65; P = 1.8 × 10(-12)).

Among the most interesting genes clearly associated with vasculitis, however, are uncommon alleles that also cause monogenic recessive diseases: MEFV in Behçet's disease and Henoch-Schönlein purpura, and A1AT in Wegener's granulomatosis.
