چکیده
Results We analysed 94 patients (sex-ratio:1). 42% were Jews and 17% were Arabs. Familial history of FMF was found in 23%, MICI in 10%, amyloidosis in 3% and Behçet in 3%. Median age of onset was 2 y. Fever was >39°C in 80%, duration and frequency of an attack varied (<24 h: 8%, 1– 3 d: 56%, >3 d: 36%; >2/m: 15%, 1–2 m: 48% <1 m: 37% respectively). Peritonitis occurred in 97%, pleuritis in 25%, arthralgia in 53%; arthritis in 4 cases; skin rashes in 20%, aphtosis in 18% and lymphadenopathy in 9%.

MOLECULAR STUDY OF E148Q MUTATION IN EXON 2 OF MEFV GENE IN PATIENTS WITH PREMATURE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Background & Aims: Recent studies have shown that some of the MEFV gene mutations are common in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study was designed to investigate the presence or absence of E148Q mutation in exon 2 of MEFV gene in patients with premature coronary artery disease. Materials & Methods: In this study, 90 patients with coronary artery disease were voluntarily sele...
متن کاملMEFV, TNFRSF1A and CARD15 mutation analysis in Behçet's disease.
OBJECTIVES Given the pathological similarities between Behçet's disease (BD), Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) and Crohn's disease (CD) we evaluated the frequency of mutations and polymorphisms in MEFV, TNFRSF1A and CARD15 in Israeli BD patients of either Jewish or Arab descent. METHODS Fifty-four BD patients (11 Jews and 43 Arabs), evaluat...
متن کاملThe spectrum of MEFV clinical presentations--is it familial Mediterranean fever only?
OBJECTIVE FMF is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease, associated with a single gene named MEFV. This gene is considered to be responsible only for FMF. In the present study, we tried to find out whether the MEFV gene is associated with or responsible for clinical conditions other than FMF. METHODS We looked for patients who presented with signs and symptoms not typical for FMF but carri...
متن کاملMEFV 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...
متن کاملPFAPA and 12 Common MEFV Gene Mutations Our Clinical Experience
OBJECTIVE Marshall Syndrome or PFAPA is an inflammatory periodic disease characterized by periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis. Although PFAPA is an auto inflammatory disease, it doesn't have genetic basis such as other periodic fevers. This study evaluates the 12 common MEFV gene mutations in patients with PFAPA syndrome. METHODS 21 patients with PFAPA syndr...
