Mefv Gene Mutations In Familial Mediterranean Fever Phenotype Ii Patients With Renal Amyloidosis In Childhood: A Retrospective Clinicopathological And Molecular Study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2002)
Background. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurring attacks of fever and serositis. The definition of the mutated gene has allowed molecular diagnosis of the disease. ...
Allelic Variants in Genes Associated with Hereditary Periodic Fever Syndromes as Susceptibility Factors for Reactive Systemic AA Amyloidosis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2004)
We investigated the hypothesis that low-penetrance mutations in genes (TNFRSF1A, MEFV and NALP3/CIAS1) associated with hereditary periodic fever syndromes (HPFs) might be risk factors for AA amyloidosis among patients with ...
Decreased Prevalence Of Atopy In Paediatric Patients With Familial Mediterranean Fever
(B M J Publishing Group, 2004)
Background: A number of inflammatory diseases, including familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), have been shown to be driven by a strongly dominated Th1 response, whereas the pathogenesis of atopic diseases is associated with ...
Tumour Necrosis Factor Alpha G -> A-238 And G -> A-308 Polymorphisms In Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2002)
Objectives. To study G-->A -238 and G-->A -308 polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha gene in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We analysed whether there were any ...
A Phenocopy of Caii Deficiency: A Novel Genetic Explanation for Inherited Infantile Osteopetrosis with Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis
(British Med Journal Publ Group, 2003)
The rare bone thickening disease osteopetrosis occurs in various forms, one of which is accompanied by renal tubular acidosis (RTA), and is known as Guibaud-Vainsel of this autosomal recessive syndrome comprise oncreased ...
The Significance Of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody In Microscopic Polyangitis And Classic Polyarteritis Nodosa
(British Med Journal Publ Group, 2001)
Aims-To describe the distribution and features of classic polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and microscopic polyarteritis (MPA) and the importance of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) in childhood PAN. Methods-Classic ...
Novel Atp6V1B1 And Atp6V0A4 Mutations In Autosomal Recessive Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis With New Evidence For Hearing Loss
(Bmj Publishing Group, 2002)
Autosomal recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (rdRTA) is characterised by severe hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis in childhood, hypokolaemia, decreased urinary calcium solubility, and impaired bone physiology and ...
C Reactive Protein: Protecting from Lupus in Familial Mediterranean Fever
