    Abstract

    Two recent studies have suggested the involvement of serum amyloid A (SAA) and P (APCS) genes in familial Mediterranean fever (MEF). To test the role of SAA and APCS in MEF and MEF-amyloidosis, we studied 17 informative families (15 Armenians, 2 non-Ashkenazi Jews) and 8 MEF patients with amyloidosis using a candidate gene approach. No evidence for any MEF-associated polymorphism was found in any of the 41 Armenian and Jewish MEF patients tested. Our family studies allowed us to rule out tight linkage between SAA and MEF (lod score = -2.16, theta less than or equal to 0.06). For APCS we found that the allele frequency in the MEF-amyloidosis patients was similar to that in 18 unrelated MEF patients without amyloidosis and their 33 healthy parents. Finally, we excluded close genetic linkage between APCS and MEF at 8.5 cM or less (lod score = -2.2).

        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Gene (OMIM)
        Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
