Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autoinflammatory disorder resulting in recurrent fever, polyserositis, and arthralgias. It is caused by mutations in the () gene. We report a Lebanese pediatric patient with typical FMF symptoms and unique triple homozygous variations E148Q-P369S-R408Q in the gene. This is the second-ever reported case with this specific triple homozygous variation.
家族性地中海热(FMF)是一种遗传性自身炎症性疾病,可导致反复发热、多浆膜炎和关节痛。它由()基因的突变引起。我们报告了一名黎巴嫩儿科患者,具有典型的FMF症状,且在该基因中存在独特的三重纯合变异E148Q-P369S-R408Q。这是第二例报告的具有这种特定三重纯合变异的病例。
