Popis: MEFV gene (Familial Mediterranean Fever Gene) is located on chromosome 16 - 16.13.3., and it is composed of 3,242,028-3,256,776 nucleotides. It is specified as having an autosome-recessive hereditary type. Autosome-dominant hereditary species were also recorded(2,4). The MEFV RoRet genes family contains exon 10, consisting of 10,000 nucleotide sequences(5). The length of the transcript consists of 3.7 thousand nucleotide sequences consisting of 761 synthesized pyridine protein amino acid bases(1,3) MEFV gene researches were performed in the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Over 80 mutations have been identified so far. Four missense mutations (M680I, M694V, M694I, and V726A) in exon 10, together with E148Q in exon 2, account for the majority of FMF mutations in populations originating from areas around the eastern Mediterranean region. The various combinations of MEFV mutations are largely associated with the phenotypic variability of the disease. The most serious complication of FMF is the development of renal amyloidosis, which may be the only manifestation of the disease. The molecular-genetic study of the MEFV gene isolated from the genome DNA of 18 patients suspected of Family Disease Fever has identified 7 mutations: R761H M694I, M694V, V726A, R202Q, M680I and E148Q. All patients were of Azerbaijan origin, from the Mediterranean region of Azerbaijan. They were evaluated for clinical findings and family history of FMF. Seven mutations of MEFV gene were identified in heterozygous, homozygous and compound conditions: R761H M694I, M694V, V726A, R202Q, M680I and E148Q. The mutations E148Q and R202Q were discovered in exon 2 and R761H M694I, M694V, V726A, M680I were found in exon10 in the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
