Özet

Aim: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) results from MEFV gene mutations. E148Q is a variant of unknown significance in MEFV. We aimed to define characteristics of FMF patients homozygous for E148Q, check for other MEFV variants in a subgroup, and compare the characteristics with FMF patients carrying other mutations.
