Abstract

Background & objectives: MEFV gene has a major role in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF )as an auto-inflammatory disorder. FMF is most often seen in the people of the Mediterranean area. Considering the significant role of the MEFV gene in many rheumatologic diseases and even non-rheumatologic disorders, it is necessary to identify different variations of these mutations in the healthy and normal population of this area. Methods: 224 healthy people entered into this study. The blood samples were screened for the 12 most common MEFV gene variants according to manufacturer’ s instructions. (FMF Strip Assay, Vienna lab, Vienna, Austria ) They filled a questionnaire containing the required information. All patients were initially evaluated for the FMF symptoms and signs in themselves and their first-degree relatives based on clinical criteria. Chi-squared test and t-test were employed for statistical analysis using SPSS ver. 24. Results: Among 224 cases, 113 cases (50. 4% ) were male, and 111 cases (49. 6% ) were female. MEFV mutations were detected in 57 patients (25% ) of them, 28 cases were male (49. 1% ) and 29 cases were female (50. 9% ). The most frequent mutations were E148Q (18. 3%, 41cases), followed by P369S (3. 1%, 7 cases), V726A (2. 2%, 5cases), A744S (1. 3%, 3cases), F479L, M694V and R761H (0. 8%, each 2 cases), and eventually K695R (0. 4% ) respectively. Some mutations such as M694I, M680I (G/C ), M680I (G/A ), I692del were not seen in these samples. There were compound heterozygous mutations of E148Q/P369S, E148Q/V726A, E148Q/P369S, and P369S / F479L in normal population without any findings in favor of FMF. Conclusion: Twenty-five percent of the normal population of the Northwest of Iran carrying a heterozygous variant of the MEFV gene, E148Q (18. 3% ) as a most common mutation, which can be considered as a normal variant in the healthy population. The presence of M694I, M680I (G/C ), M680I (G/A ) and I692del mutations in the normal population can be interpreted with cautiously, while particular compound heterozygous mutations can be considered as normal variants.
