Since the genetic basis of heterozygous MEFV gene
patients is still uncertain, the aim of the present study was
to screen a large cohort of FMF-like patients who carried a
single MEFV mutation for MVK, TNFRSF1A and NLRP3
mutations. Since patients with HRF frequently exhibit comparable
inflammatory symptoms, the potential synergistic
effect of variants in alternative hereditary autoinflammatory
genes was exploited.
