Abstract
Objective: The clinical profile in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), including its major manifestation, amyloidosis, is influenced by MEFV allelic heterogeneity and other genetic and/or environmental factors. In this study, we analyzed the contribution of genotypes at the MEFV and SAA1 loci to disease severity and to the development of amyloidosis, and further defined the factors affecting the clinical profile of FMF.
Methods: We investigated a sample of 277 FMF patients (154 men and 123 women), including 62 patients with nephropathic amyloidosis, in whom both FMF alleles had been identified. A detailed chart review, interview, and physical examination were undertaken to determine the patients' demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical manifestations, and treatment. The disease severity score was calculated from the Tel-Hashomer key. Genotypes at the SAA1 locus (isoforms alpha, beta, and gamma) were determined in all patients. The SAA1 13C/T polymorphism of the SAA1 promotor was analyzed in a subset of cases.
Results: The male:female ratio (154:123, or 1.3) was higher among patients with amyloidosis (40:22, or 1.8) compared with patients without amyloidosis (114:101, or 1.1). Logistic regression analysis showed that homozygosity for the M694V allele (odds ratio [OR] 4.27, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.01-9.07), the presence of the SAAalpha/alpha genotype (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.47-6.09), the occurrence of arthritis attacks (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.17-5.06), and male sex (OR 1.73, 95% CI 0.90-3.33) were significantly and independently associated with renal amyloidosis. Disease severity was mainly influenced by MEFV mutations and was not associated with genotypes at the SAA1 locus. The SAA1 13T allele was rare, being associated mainly with the SAA gamma isoform, and not related to renal amyloidosis.
Conclusion: Overall, disease severity and the development of amyloidosis in FMF are differentially affected by genetic variations within and outside the MEFV gene.
