BACKGROUND Due to an increased frequency of vasculitis in FMF patients, many investigators have studied MEFV mutations in patients with HSP. The aim of the study is to investigate the frequency and clinical significance of MEFV mutations in Egyptian children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). Investigating MEFV mutations in controls may help in estimating the prevalence of MEFV mutation carri...
