Clinical and molecular analysis of common MEFV gene mutations in familial Mediterranean fever in Sivas population
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most frequent hereditary inflammatory disease characterized by self-limited recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. The aim of the current study is to determine the frequency of ...
Intimamedia thickening in patients with familial Mediterranean fever
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2009)
Methods. We studied 100 (46 males, 54 females; mean age: 40 6 years) patients with FMF. Also 94 (15 males, 79 females; mean age: 41 7 years) patients with SLE and 103 (44 males, 59 females; mean age: 40 5 years) apparently ...
Red cell distribution width is associated with albuminuria in adults with familial Mediterranean fever
(WILEY, 2016)
Systematic inflammation, enhanced oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction are important for evolution and progression of renal damage, and they cause an increase in red cell distribution width (RDW). Familial ...
Severity and frequency of restless legs syndrome in patients with familial Mediterranean fever
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017)
Objective: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensory motor disorder. RLS an urge to move the extremities that may be accompanied by dysesthesias, and significantly affects quality of life of affected patients. The ...
Autoantibodies are not associated with familial mediterranean fever
(MEDFARMA-EDICOES MEDICAS, LDA, 2012)
Objective: It has been suggested that Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations are also seen in certain autoimmune diseases and are related to severity of the disease activity. As most of the clinical symptoms of these ...
Lack of the Association of the PTPN22 C1858T Gene Polymorphism With Susceptibility to Familial Mediterranean Fever
(TURKISH LEAGUE AGAINST RHEUMATISM, 2016)
Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) C1858T gene polymorphism plays a role in the pathogenesis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) through ...
Vitamin D status, serum lipid concentrations, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms in familial mediterranean fever
(Association of Basic Medical Sciences of FBIH, 2018)
Vitamin D (VitD) is critical for the regulation of inflammatory processes, and VitD deficiency has been linked to several chronic inflammatory disorders. We aimed to investigate the concentrations of serum 25(OH)D3, lipid ...
