Association between MEFV Mutations M694V and M680I and Behçet’s Disease: A Meta-Analysis

OBJECTIVE Several studies have identified an association between Behçet's disease (BD) and mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene, which was originally linked to the autosomal recessive disease, Familial Mediterranean fever. However, no consensus has been reached. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted on published data to comprehensively evaluate this relationship. METHODS Literature ...

Common MEFV mutations (M694V, V726A, M680I, M694I, and E148Q ) in patients with Behcet\'s disease in Ardabil

Background and objectives: Behcet's Disease (BD) is a rare severe recurrent inflammatory disorder affecting several body organs. Since Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and BD affect almost a specific population, both diseases can mimic the other clinically, and these two diseases sometimes occur in the same family and the same patient, also due to the high prevalence of BD in Iran and perform...

MEFV M694V mutation has a role in susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis: A meta-analysis

OBJECTIVE 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. METHODS Two investigators independently searched the literature regarding the association of MEFV with AS in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. ...
