P01-007 – Evaluation of potential risk factors of Amyloidosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives The potential risk factors of amyloidosis are known as ethnic origin (Jewish, Armenian, Turkish, and North African origin), non-usage of colchicines, and family history. Various investigators suggest that M694V mutation, especially homozygote pattern, is a risk factor for amyloidosis. In literatures reported from Turkey, it is stated that there is only a limited association. In this study, we aimed to investigate the affects of MEFV mutations and other potential risk factors on amyloidosis.
