Rheumatology International, 10/16/09
El–Garf A et al. – The objective of the study is to screen 12 MEFV gene mutations in Egyptian patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and to study the initial hypothesis that the phenotypic expression of the disease may be attributable to the existence of a particular mutation. The increased frequency of V726A gene mutation and the rarity of amyloidosis in this study suggest that Egyptian patients may have a milder form of FMF compared to other populations. The five main founder mutations account for the vast majority of cases of FMF.
