Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a genetically recessive inflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV gene. Most patients of non-Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry or those who are homozygous for M694V manifest a severe disease course, but some express a mild form of the disease. We therefore searched for other genes which could possibly be implicated in the disease phenotype. We tested MICA (major...
