The Prevalence of Three Common MEFV Gene Mutations in West Bank Population among Students of Najah National University, Palestine
Author(s): Tanbour RG, Sawafta TS and Basha WS
Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder. The clinical symptoms of FMF are nonspecific and difficult to distinguish from similar symptoms arising from completely different diseases. Following the cloning of the gene associated with this disease (MEFV), genetic analysis of its mutations has become available. Of these mutations, five account for more than 70% of FMF cases which are; V726A, M694V, M694I, M680I and E148Q. In this study, three out of the five common mutations of MEFV gene were analyzed in apparently healthy people in West Bank, Palestine.
Method: We performed A cross sectional, non-interventional, descriptive study that aims to calculate the prevalence of three common MEF... view more»
