Frequency of familial Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations in patients with biopsy-proven primary glomerulonephritis
(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2017)
Primary glomerulopathies are those disorders that affect glomerular structure, function, or both in the absence of a multisystem disorder. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of MEFV gene mutation to show possible coexistence ...
