Primary glomerulopathies are those disorders that affect glomerular structure, function, or both in the absence of a multisystem disorder. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of MEFV gene mutation to show possible coexistence of FMF in patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven primary glomerulonephritis (GN). A total of 64 patients with biopsy-proven primary GN were included in the study. MEFV gene mutations examined...
