Abstract excerpt
We aimed to investigate the rate of MEFV, the gene mutated in familial Mediterranean fever, mutations in patients with myeloid neoplasm and to determine if known mutations of MEFV cause a tendency for myeloid neoplasms. The frequency of the five most common MEFV gene mutations (M694V, M680I, V726A, E148Q and M694I) was determined in 26 patients with myeloid neoplasm. We identified 1 homozygous (E148Q/E148Q), 1...
