The frequency of MEFV gene variations in Adult-onset Still's disease and Gout
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives Adult onset-Still’s disease (AOSD) and gout are considered as auto-inflammatory disorders. Both diseases run recurrent episodic course and respond to anti-IL 1 treatment. Additionally, increased frequency of MEFV variations in other inflammatory diseases other than FMF such as Behçet’s disease, ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis and raises the possibility that MEFV gene may play a general role in the inflammatory pathway. Therefore in this study, we explored the MEFV exon 2 and 10 variations in a group of AOSD and gout patients and compared the frequencies between disease groups and healthy controls.

Background: Systemic-onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SoJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease with complex genetic trait starts in children less than 16 years of age with fever and cutaneous rash. Despite, the main genetic factors that may play a role in SoJIA have not yet been identified. High level of interleukin-1beta in the blood of SoJIA patients has been reported. The production and sec...

Adult-Onset Still's Disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. AOSD presents in 5% to 10% of patients as Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO) accompanied by systemic manifestations. We reported a compelling case of a 39-year-old African male presenting one-month FUO along with skin rash, sore throat, and arthralgia. After an extensive workup, potential...

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...

Background : Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease, which is characterized by recurrent short episodes of inflammation in serous membranes. It is most prevalent in Western Mediterranean population. MEFV is the only gene currently known to be associated with this disease. Previous studies revealed that 6% of Iranian Jewish residents in Israel were carriers of MEFV ...

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...
