Investigation of MEFV gene polymorphisms (G138G and A165A) in adult patients with familial Mediterranean fever

Conclusions To our knowledge, our study is the first study in the Southern Marmara region that reports the frequency of MEFV mutations. Our findings imply that the polymorphisms of G138G and A165A may have an impact on progress of the disease. We think that more studies, having higher number of cases and investigating the polymorphisms of MEFV gene, are needed.
