چکیده
Results The study group comprised 317 FMF patients (170 females, 147 males) with a mean age of 12.2 ± 5.7 years. The frequency of musculoskeletal complaints were as follows; arthritis 18%, arthralgia 43%, leg pain 43%, heel pain 36%, myalgia 8%, protracted arthritis 2%, protracted febrile myalgia 2%. Leg pain and heel pain were more frequently detected in patients with homozygous M694V (p<0.05). Among patients with heterozygous mutations; children with M694V mutation had more frequently artralgia, leg pain and heel pain (p<0.05).
