Familial Mediterranean fever gene mutations in the inner northern region of Turkey and genotype-phenotype correlation in children
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 10/27/09

Yilmaz R et al. – In addition to clinical criteria, molecular studies for detecting disease–causing mutations are needed to establish the diagnosis of FMF. FMF patients who were homozygous for MEFV gene mutations had a higher symptom severity score and higher incidence of appendectomy. The broad spectrum of mutations may reflect intercultural interactions of ethnic groups in Anatolia. Nation–wide studies may help to determine the relationships among demographic, clinical and genetic features of FMF.
