Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessively inherited inflammatory disease that primarily affects Jews, Armenians, Turks, and Arabs. It is characterised by recurrent self limited attacks of fever accompanied by inflammation of the peritoneum, synovium, and pleura. The gene responsible for FMF (MEFV) has been cloned recently on the short arm of chromosome 16 and more than 20 m...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Three missense mutations clustered on the carboxyl-terminal portion of the MEFV gene (M680I, M694V, and V726A) have been observed in over 80% of affected alleles in several ethnic groups of familial Mediterranean fever patients. Several immunologic abnormalities were found both in cellular and humoral components in Mediterranean fever patients. Those observations have pointed th...
BACKGROUND A study was designed to identify the source of fever in a patient with post-polycythemia myelofibrosis, associated with clonal Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation involving duplication of exon 12. The patient presented with 1-2 day long self-limited periodic episodes of high fever that became more frequent as the hematologic disease progressed. METHODS After ruling out other causes for ...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a disease characterized by recurrent, self-limiting bouts of fever and serositis and caused by altered pyrin due to mutated MEFV gene. FMF is common in the Mediterranean Basin populations, although with varying genetic patterns. The spectrum and clinical significance of MEFV alterations in Greece has yet not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to ana...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurring attacks of fever and serositis. It affects primarily North African Jews, Armenians, Turks and Arabs, in which a founder effect has been demonstrated. The marenostrin-pyrin-encoding gene has been proposed as a candidate gene for the disease ( MEFV ), on the basis of the identification of putative mut...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever accompanied by sterile peritonitis, arthritis, and pleuritis. Many mutations in the MEFV gene have been identified as causing FMF. However, accompanying epidemiological information remains quite scarce except in some Mediterranean countries, and the degree of penetrance has been a subject of...
Introduction PFAPA syndrome (acronym for periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) is the most common cause of periodic fever in childhood. It is considered part of the wide family of the autoinflammatory diseases, but a genetic or molecular marker hasn’t been identified yet, therefore, its etiology is still unknown. Diagnosis is essentially based on clinical crite...
Objective Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis or an erysipelaslike skin disorder. The disease may present at any age, more than 80% of patients being symptomatic by the age of 20 yr. Its main long-term complication is amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, a severe manifestation with poor pro...
Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of self-limited fever and serosal tissues inflammation. Methods: To evaluate clinical symptoms and common genetic mutations in southwestern Iranian patients with FMF, 20 unrelated patients were enrolled in this study based on clinical criteria. A panel of 12 common ME...
