Prevalence of MEFV gene mutations in a large cohort of patients with suspected familial Mediterranean fever in Central Anatolia
BACKGROUND: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an autosomal recessive, autoinflammatory disease that is common in Arabs, Jews, Armenians and Turks, is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes a protein called pyrin. The disease is characterised by recurrent fever, peritonitis, pleuritis,...

description | BACKGROUND: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an autosomal recessive, autoinflammatory disease that is common in Arabs, Jews, Armenians and Turks, is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes a protein called pyrin. The disease is characterised by recurrent fever, peritonitis, pleuritis, abdominal pain and arthralgia. OBJECTIVE: Determine the distributions of MEFV mutations and their relationship with clinical manifestations. DESIGN: Retrospective, descriptive. SETTING: Turkish community. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included patients with complaints related to FMF who were admitted to the research hospital of Cumhuriyet University between 2005 and 2017. FMF was diagnosed by physical examination using the Tel-Hashomer criteria. MEFV mutations were detected by reverse hybridization strip assay and pyrosequencing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The prevalence of specific MEFV gene mutations in a large cohort of Middle Anatolia. SAMPLE SIZE: 10 033 patients admitted, 1223 with confirmed mutations. RESULTS: Of 1684 patients diagnosed by Tel-Hashomer criteria, mutation screening confirmed that 1223 patients (72.6%) had FMF. Male/female ratio of the FMF patients was 1.3:1. One or more FMF mutations were found in 4497 patients (44.8%). 3262 had heterozygous or carrier mutations, 821 had compound heterozygous mutation, 381 had homozygous mutations, and 21 had triple mutations. Sixty-six percent had a family history of the disease and 13.7% of the patients had parental consanguinity. Main symptoms found in the patients were abdominal pain (85.2%), fever (84%), chest pain (30.2%), arthralgia (28.6%), rash or erysipelas-like erythema (8.2%). The most common mutation in this population was M694V (39%) of 5753 alleles. CONCLUSION: M694V was the most frequent mutation in our population (Middle Anatolia, Turkey) and cause severe forms of the disease. Patients with E148Q, V726A and R761H mutations may have milder FMF symptoms. There was a high rate of carriers in our study group. LIMITATIONS: Amyloidosis, an important complication of the disease, needs to be analyzed. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None. |
