The spectrum of Familial Mediterranean Fever gene (MEFV) mutations and genotypes in Iran, and report of a novel missense variant (R204H).
European Journal of Medical Genetics 2017 December
BACKGROUND: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by recurrent and self-limited episodes of fever, abdominal pain, synovitis and pleuritis. FMF as the most common inherited monogenic autoinflammatory disease mainly affects ethnic groups of the Mediterranean basin, Arab, Jewish, Turkish, Armenian North Africans and Arabic descent.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present study, we selected 390 unrelated FMF patients according to the Tel-Hashomer criteria, and analyzed all patients for 12 most common mutations of MEFV gene by reverse hybridization assay (FMF strip assay). We also investigated exon 2 and 10 of MEFV gene in 78 patients by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS: According to strip assay results, at least one mutation was found in 234 patients (60%), and no mutation was found in other 156 patients (40%). The five most common mutations and allelic frequencies were M694V (13.6%), E148Q (10.4%), M694I (6.5%), V726A (4.1%), and M680I (3.8%). Moreover, we detected a novel missense variant (R204H, c.611 G > A) (SCV000297822) and following rare mutations among sequenced samples; R202Q, P115T, G304R, and E230K.
CONCLUSION: This study describes the MEFV mutations spectrum and distribution in Iranian population, and shows different mutation patterns among Iranian ethnicities. Moreover, M694V is the most common MEFV mutation in Iran.
