Serum Amyloid A Type 1 Gene Polymorphism in Egyptian Children with Familial Mediterranean Fever

Abstract: Background: Since spontaneous inflammation is an important contributor to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), genetic variants mediating inflammation are of interest. We investigated gene variants in the acute-phase serum amyloid A type 1 (SAA1), a sensitive marker of inflammatory activity, and their association with susceptibility and severity of FMF. Methods: The genotypes of 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms within exon 3 of SAA1 (2995C/T and 3010C/T) were determined in 105 Egyptian children with FMF and in… Show more

“…M694I mutation has been associated with severe and uncommon clinical picture, including renal involvment and erysipelas‐like erythema, respectively . Particularly, the M694I/M694I genotype, identified in 52% patients, was significantly associated with the development of amyloidosis in Algerians and Arabs .…”

“…Disease severity scores are now used in many diseases to evaluate disease severity more objectively. In previous studies, it was found that the disease severity scores showed more severe disease in the group carrying the homozygous M694V mutation (13)(14)(15). However, in a study from Turkey, it was observed that carrying the M694V mutation in one allele or two alleles did not change the severity of the disease (16).…”

“…Birçok araştırmada homozigot M694V mutasyonunun hastalığın daha erken başlamasına ve ciddi tablolar ile sonuçlanmasına neden olacağı öne sürülmüş olup bu mutasyonu taşıyan hasta grubunda diğer gruplardan daha yüksek hastalık ağırlık skoru gösterilmiştir (2,13,21,22). Çalışmamızda da benzer olarak en yüksek hastalık ağırlık skorları M694V mutasyonunu homozigot taşıyan grupta bulundu.…”
