Analysis of MEFV exon methylation and expression patterns in familial Mediterranean fever

BACKGROUND: MEFV mutations and decreased expression level of the gene are related to FMF pathology. DNA methylation at CpG islands is a well-known mechanism for transcriptional silencing. MEFV has a CpG island, spanning a part of the first intron and the whole of the second exon of the gene covering...
