چکیده
Results Compared with the control group, more patients, homozygous for the M694 mutation, suffered from a severe disease (p=0.001), had higher frequency of attacks before and during colchicine treatment (p=0.0001 and 0.0007, respectively), had more related diseases (p=0.0373) and needed higher dose of colchicine to control their disease (p=0.0001). Most other features tested (Table 1) appeared to be more pronounced in M694V homozygous patients (either with or without statistical significance).

Objective(s):Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, is frequently present among individuals of Mediterranean origin. Differences in the clinical manifestations of FMF between different ethnic groups have been documented. The aim of the present study was to determine the most common characteristics of FMF and the relationship between clinical findings and ...

Background & objective: FMF is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by acute episodes of fever accompanied by severe abdominal pain, pleurisy, arthritis, and skin rashes. Clinical symptoms of the disease vary considerably in patients, and little is known about the origin of this variation. This study investigates a male patient suffering from severe FMF and his parents. Materia...

Rhodococcus FMF is a gram-positive bacterium isolated for the first time from soil samples of Tabriz refinery in Iran. This microorganism is able to catabolize dibenzothiophene to 2-hydroxybiphenyl and inorganic sulfur without the destruction of carbon-carbon bonds. Three structural genes, dszA, dszB, and dszC have been characterized and shown to be responsible for this phenotype. In this work,...
متن کاملFamilial Mediterranean fever without MEFV mutations: a case–control study
BACKGROUND Although familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was originally defined as an autosomal recessive disorder, approximately 10-20% of FMF patients do not carry any FMF gene (MEFV) mutations. Fine phenotype characterization may facilitate the elucidation of the genetic background of the so called "FMF without MEFV mutations". In this study we clinically and demographically characterize this ...

Background Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of diseases characterized by episodes of inflammation, usually manifested with fever and a variety of symptoms, including skin-rash, arthritis and abdominal pain. A clinical overlap between different SAIDs, may cause diagnosis uncertainty. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the prototype of the autoinflammatory syndrome, is mani...
