Abstract excerpt
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes for pyrin. Although genetic testing is commonly employed for FMF diagnosis, the interpretation of genetic results is often challenging. Therefore, we aimed to functionally characterise the p.R202Q MEFV alteration. Furthermore, we hypothesized that inflammation may affect genomic stability and neutrophilic (N) subsets. A...
