PW01-003 – Frequency of MEFV mutations in Turkish population
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Data on the epidemiology of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and the prevalence of disease causing mutations among different ethnic groups and geographical regions around the world are insufficient. The prevalence of mutations that account for FMF in Turkey has been defined in the past by determining the frequency of MEFV mutations in affected individuals or in hospital-based controls. This study is a population-based study and is, therefore, different from previous patient-based studies.

Introduction Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, ethnically restricted and commonly found among individuals of Mediterranean descent, caused by MEditerranean FeVer gene (MEFV) mutations on the chromosome 16. It is the most frequent periodic febrile syndrome among autoinflammatory syndromes. Eighty % of patients with FMF have MEFV mutations, while aro...

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...
