Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify the whole nucleotide sequence of the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and reveal novel single nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with the susceptibility of FMF. METHODS: SeqCap capturing technique followed by Illumina next-generation sequencing have been used to assess two hundred SNVs in the whole region of MEFV in 266 Japanese patients...
