R202Q/M694V as novel MEFV gene mutations in chronic periodontitis and familial Mediterranean fever
ConclusionThis is the first study to report the R202Q mutation in patients with periodontitis. Furthermore, the MEFV gene‐mediated inflammatory pathway increased serum acute phase reactants, and the changes in the R202Q and M694V could play a role in inflammatory‐genetic diseases, such as FMF, FMF‐associated amyloidosis and chronic periodontitis.
