Familial Mediterranean fever in Syrian patients: MEFV gene mutations and genotype-phenotype correlation.

Abstract:

:Familial Mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of abdominal pain, synovitis and pleuritis. MEFV gene mutations are responsible for the disease. The objective of this study was to identify the frequency and distribution of 12 MEFV mutations in 153 Syrian patients and perform a genotype-phenotype correlation in the patients' cohort. Of the 153 unrelated patients investigated, 97 (63.4%) had at least one mutation. The most frequent mutation was M694V (36.5%), followed by V726A (15.2%), E148Q (14.5%), M680I (G/C) (13.2%), and M694I (10.2%) mutations. Rare mutations (R761H, A744S, M680I (G/A), K695R, P369S, F479L and I692del) were also detected in the patients. M694V was associated with the severe form of the disease. The identification of a significant number of FMF patients with no mutations or only one known mutation identified indicates the presence of new mutations in the MEFV gene which will be investigated in the future.
