Abstract excerpt
Familial Mediterranean fever is a hereditary autoinflammatory syndrome. The typical treatment for the disease is colchicine. However, a subset of patients are not responsive to colchicine. In this study, polymorphisms in the colchicine-binding site of the TUBB1 gene, which encodes a tubulin isoform specific to leukocytes, were investigated in patients with colchicine-resistant disease. FMF patients who were...
