Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis and Familial Mediterranean Fever in a Child With MEFV Gene Mutation

MEFV Gene Profile in Northwest of Iran, Twelve Common MEFV Gene Mutations Analysis in 216 Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern often seen around the Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and polyserositis and rash. Recently, MEFV gene analysis determines the definitive diagnosis of FMF. In this study, we analyzed 12 MEFV gene mutations in more than 200 FMF patients, pr...

MEFV mutation analysis of familial Mediterranean fever in Japan.

BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever with serosal inflammation. FMF gene (MEFV) mutations have been identified primarily in patients from Mediterranean populations. Although several clinical cases have been reported in Japan, there have been few reports to date on mutation analysis. We studied FMF patients an...

P01-028 – MEFV mutation in Morrocan child wuth familial Mediterranean fever

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever ( FMF ) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease mostly wide spread in the Mediterranean basin. It is manifested by a fever associated with paroxystic painful attacks. The prognosis is determined by the occurrence of renal amyloidosis. The purpose of our work is to establish a genotypephenotype correlation between the MEFV gene mutation and the expre...

E148Q is a disease-causing MEFV mutation: a phenotypic evaluation in patients with familial Mediterranean fever.

BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is one of the periodic fever syndromes. It is common among Turks, Jews, Arabs, and Armenians. Several mutations in the MEFV gene, including E148Q, have been identified as causing this disease. It has been suggested that the E148Q mutation is the mildest mutation and some reports have questioned its disease association. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ph...
