Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest an association between rare variants in Mediterranean fever (MEFV), the gene underlying the auto-inflammatory disorder Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), the risk to develop multiple sclerosis (MS) and severity of MS. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate these findings in a Belgian MS population and to test for association with additional clinical parameters...
