Mevalonate kinase gene mutations and their clinical correlations in Behçet's disease.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Genetics is suggested to play a role in the development of Behçet's disease (BD). Shared phenotipic features requires an approach to differential diagnosis from periodic febrile syndromes. We planned to study for mevalonate kinase (MVK) as a candidate for a susceptibility gene for Behçet's disease. METHOD: Consecutive Behçet patients and apperently healthy subjects were included. Severity score of Behçet...
