Next-generation screening of a panel of genes associated with periodic fever syndromes in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever and their clinical characteristics.

Abstract excerpt

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary fever syndrome that primarily affects Mediterranean populations. For the study, total number of 182 patients with FMF disease were enrolled and screening of a panel of genes , called "fever panel" which comprises 17 genes, was performed. The most common mutations in MEFV gene were homozygous M694V missense mutation (4.3%) and R202Q missense mutation (4.9%). The...
